   Performance Management is a Psychosocial Hazard - with Professor Rob Briner

   In this episode, hosts Jason and Joelle welcome Professor Rob Briner of Queen Mary University of London back to the podcast for the third time. Rob shares what the research says about performance management as a high-risk process for psychosocial harm, prompted by the Comcare prosecution of the Department of Defence. We chat about why people often “under-perform” because they lack good-quality feedback and the resources to improve, why many practices we call performance feedback aren’t really feedback, the five conditions that have to be in place for feedback to work, and what it takes to move from policy to practice, including early warning signs and knowing when to pause a process and refer for support. https://www.crforum.co.uk/crf-work-psychology-network/

We chat about the Notice, Nurture, Navigate framework that helps leaders turn psychosocial hazards into everyday decisions, why delayed reporting of psychological injury claims costs so much, and how the Connect and Care pilot gave leaders the confidence to stay connected with injured workers.

Making Work Not Suck – Opportunities for Leaders - Live Podcast Recording with Adam Grant

Published 2 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And a lot of that is because of the voluntary nature of individual interventions. If you're really relying on people to practice better self care, but in a toxic work environment, how much can you expect that to actually help? Very well put. Yeah, I haven't seen it, but I don't find it at all surprising, I think. If you look at the meta-analytic evidence that's been gathered over decades, what seems to matter most for the quality of people's experience at work is basically three things.
