Reflektive, the real-time performance management cloud company, launched its new partner program on Thursday, welcoming the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) as one of its inaugural partners. The Reflektive Partner Program is designed to offer enhanced customer value and ROI through the combination of best-in-breed HR technology and people management best practices. NLI is a research organization that uses scientific insights to provide methodologies and frameworks that help organizations facilitate high performance.

The program, which welcomes partners that align with, expand or enhance Reflektive’s core focus on performance management solutions, will include a carefully curated selection of solution providers in three specific areas: Services, Technology Platforms, and Strategic Consulting. These relationships will enable Reflektive and its partners to engage mutual customers through support, sales, marketing, communications and training to enhance customers’ capabilities, further positioning Reflektive as a performance management transformation leader.

NLI has conducted pioneering research into performance management methodologies, tracking large companies’ migration away from ratings-based strategies over the past several years and identifying approaches based on brain science. For example, NLI research demonstrates that performance management systems that focus on quality conversations, effective feedback and change management work better than traditional ratings-based frameworks. NLI’s findings align with Reflektive’s focus on real-time performance management within the context of customers’ workflow.

“Modern companies are eager to implement real-time performance management into their day-to-day workflows to become more efficient, boost business agility, and enhance employee engagement and success,” said David Rock, Founder and Director of NLI, adding, “Through our partnership with Reflektive, we’re able to offer this critical capability alongside our leading-edge human capital management solutions with complete onboarding and support to make for a seamless customer experience.”
