Modern Performance Management
Move beyond annual reviews to continuous performance management that drives real results. Create a culture of feedback, development, and accountability that engages employees and achieves business goals.
Performance Management That Actually Works
Traditional annual performance reviews are broken. They’re backward-looking, demotivating, and fail to drive the behaviors that create success. Employees dread them, managers avoid them, and organizations waste countless hours on processes that don’t deliver value.
At Kohan LLC, we help you reimagine performance management for the modern workplace. We design systems that emphasize continuous feedback, meaningful development, and clear accountability—creating environments where both people and performance thrive.
Whether you’re looking to overhaul your entire performance management system or enhance specific elements, we bring the expertise and practical experience to create solutions that work for your unique culture and goals.
