Deep dives
Bridgewater's People Operations Philosophy
Bridgewater is known for its high standards in talent and experimental people operations. One of its key practices is the 'dot collector,' a tool used to rate employee performance in meetings based on various attributes. While the feedback system encourages continuous improvement, it is susceptible to biases, particularly because ratings aren't based on competencies, leading to potential distortions in employee evaluations. The emphasis on candid feedback and autonomous decision-making has contributed to a unique corporate culture, but the implementation of some ideas has proven challenging.
