OKRs + Engagement = 35% higher performance. Here’s why most companies still ignore it.
Introduction
Most companies believe they have a solid HR tech stack. But 73% of employees still feel disengaged, performance feedback is delayed, and business execution suffers.
At People Matters TechHR Pulse Mumbai 2025, industry leaders made one thing clear: HR tech isn’t just about tracking performance anymore. It’s about enabling execution in real-time. Companies that don’t make this shift risk losing their best talent to those that do.
Annual reviews are dead. High-performing teams don’t wait for feedback.
Managers spend 215 hours a year on performance reviews, yet only 14% of employees feel they improve their work (McKinsey). By the time feedback is shared, the opportunity to act on it has passed.
Companies leading the shift are adopting real-time performance tracking, continuous feedback loops, and AI-driven goal alignment. The result? A 35% increase in employee productivity and a 27% reduction in turnover.
If your performance management system still runs on a quarterly or annual cycle, you’re already behind.
Engagement isn’t an HR metric. It’s a business necessity.
A leading fintech company improved retention by 23% after linking engagement metrics to productivity and burnout risk. This shift allowed HR teams to predict and prevent disengagement, rather than react to it.
The old model: Surveys, eNPS scores, and lagging indicators don’t cut it anymore. Companies that actively track engagement shifts in real-time see a 2.5x higher chance of improving business performance.
If your engagement tool only measures sentiment but doesn’t translate insights into action, it’s a liability, not an asset.
Disconnected HR tools are killing execution.
A mid-size tech company at the event shared their biggest frustration: six different HR systems that don’t talk to each other. The result? Data silos, slower decision-making, and misaligned goals.
A Deloitte study found that companies using integrated HR platforms see a 30% faster decision cycle and 15% higher goal achievement rates.
The shift is clear: HR teams that connect performance, engagement, and execution into a single platform are outperforming those that don’t.
AI isn’t replacing HR, it’s making it smarter.
The misconception? AI in HR means chatbots and automation. The reality? Leading companies are using AI to:
Identify disengagement risks before they turn into attrition
Coach managers in real-time with performance-based insights
Optimize goal alignment by predicting execution gaps
HR teams that use AI as a proactive decision-support tool are moving from reactive HR policies to real-time performance enablement. Companies still using HR tech as a record-keeping system won’t be competitive for long.
The future of HR is execution, not tracking.
HR isn’t about collecting data anymore. The companies leading this space are embedding real-time execution, goal tracking, and AI-driven engagement insights directly into daily workflows.
Those still relying on legacy performance tracking will lose their best employees to organizations that make performance enablement a priority.
What’s Next? Let’s Talk.
HR leaders are making these shifts today. If your organization is still tracking but not acting, it’s time to rethink HR’s role in business strategy.
Companies that get this right won’t just improve HR. They’ll change how work gets done.
