    Performance Management Clarity, Fairness and Building Cultures of High Performance

    Our Performance Management service helps nonprofits, schools, and social impact organizations design equity-centered performance systems that are clear, consistent, and growth-oriented. We partner with HR leaders, managers, and executives to replace vague, checkbox reviews with a transparent performance management framework grounded in competencies, shared expectations, and meaningful feedback.

    Building from your strategy and success profiles, we define the knowledge, skills, behaviors, and mindsets required for high performance across roles and levels, and connect them to practical tools like goal-setting, evaluations, and development plans. This work often includes refining or creating a competency model, updating performance review forms and processes, and building or strengthening career pathways so staff can see how strong performance links to growth and opportunity. Throughout our work, we center Edgility Talent Partners' pillars of equity—Clarity & Transparency, Fairness & Consistency, and Inclusion & Belonging—so your performance management program feels understandable and fair.

    We show up as partners, not just process designers: listening closely to how performance management currently feels on the ground, co-designing changes with your team, and building an agile program you can refine over time as your culture and strategy evolve. The result is an equity-centered performance management system that supports honest feedback, shared accountability, and real development—without sacrificing care or trust.

    Who We Partner With on Performance Management Consulting

    • Chief People Officers, HR/People & Culture leaders, and Talent & Learning leads who are responsible for designing and improving the performance review cycle, feedback culture, and development planning.
    • Executive Directors/CEOs, COOs, and department leaders who need a consistent, values-aligned way to set expectations, evaluate performance, and support growth across teams.
    • Through focus groups and testing, we engage managers and staff to understand what is and is not working today, and to ensure the new performance management approach reflects real work and real experiences.

    We treat performance management as a shared project: co-creating expectations and tools with you, building manager capability, and supporting a rollout that prioritizes relationship, clarity, and psychological safety.

    Human Resources Officer, Urgent Action Fund

    Our work often requires rapid responses due to the nature of helping activists who are at risk. We’re grateful to Edgility for helping us slow down and take a step back to assess the health of our organization from a salary, equity, and performance perspective. It’s important that we reward our employees for their brave work. We look forward to continuing to partner with Edgility to develop and improve our internal systems.

    Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England

    While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do.  With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.

    Sonia Dominguez

    Chief Operating Officer, AVANCE

    Marissa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the engagement. She demonstrated exceptional expertise, is a great presenter who communicated complex ideas clearly, and maintained a direct and responsive approach that made collaboration seamless.

    Erica Kashiri

    Chief Operating Officer, Third Plateau

     Marissa was easily one of the top 3 partners I have ever worked with my entire career. She knows her stuff, is thoughtful, holds the line when the line needs to be held, and kept us on a great timeline. She is able to break down complex information that was WELL received to a very skeptical team of using benchmarking data. Plus, she just came off as a generally good human which I deeply value these days.
