Case Study: Joseph Joseph powers 1:1 conversations and culture with OpenBlend

Joseph Joseph achieves 96% OpenBlend adoption in under 6 months

Joseph Joseph, a global houseware brand, faced challenges due to its rapid growth and a headcount exceeding 200 employees. Their paper-based annual appraisal system was not centrally managed and was tied to pay, which was misaligned with their new cultural aspirations and need for a greater focus on employee development. To address this, they sought a new HR tool and partnered with the vendor OpenBlend to implement its performance management platform.

The solution from OpenBlend facilitated continuous, broad conversations between managers and employees, focusing on wellbeing, motivation, and development beyond just performance. The OpenBlend team provided key training and support for the rollout. The result was a 96% adoption rate in less than six months, with employees and managers reporting the platform was easy to use and valuable for enabling more honest and productive dialogue.
