Balancing high performer reward and retention with motivation of the rest of the team
Dr. Tamaz Georgadze
CEO, Raisin
As companies scale, the talent challenge changes from hiring fast to building a team that can grow, stay engaged, and keep performing. In this session, we’ll explore how Raisin has designed a people strategy that balances high performance with loyalty, growth, and long-term retention. The discussion will look at how to identify and reward top talent, how to support the strong middle of the team, and how to handle underperformance without losing the culture you’ve built.
