Modern agencies need a development approach built on real-time feedback, coaching, and future-focused conversations that actually inspire progress. This article explains why annual reviews fall short and outlines the principles of designing a simple, employee-driven professional development program that strengthens trust, engagement, and long-term performance. By shifting your focus from rating past work to cultivating future potential, you unlock far greater impact for both your people and your agency.
