Performance Leader's Feedback for Good program sees us donate up to 2.5% of our software licence fees back to three charities nominated by the client. It's really simple idea: every time someone provides real-time feedback to a colleague using our fast feedback platform, they get to drop a virtual token into one of three charity buckets. At the end of the year, we donate to the three charities, in proportion to the allocated tokens. (A bit like buying a burger at Grill'd or shopping at Waitrose, except our clients choose their charities). If you're a Performance Leader client and you want to set this up in your firm, reach out to Logan Balavijendran. And if you're not a client, but you're curious about how this might work in your firm, please get in touch! #performanceleader #forgood #feedbackforgood

Having the right leadership players in your culture to assure a top performing pathway has never been more important. The Batten Group is a trusted partner in assuring great futures.
