Today's Exactly100: Metrics for Retention

Following the disappointing midterm poll results, and the President blaming the loss on poor performance and communications, the Secretaries, after a promised Cabinet reset that was more a game of musical chairs, have been rather busy rolling out new programs and grabbing every opportunity for media exposure (A homeless woman emerges from a sewer drainage inside the financial district? Give her P80,000).

Not surprising, since the President has made it clear that their performance will be subjected to periodic reviews. Under these terms, media visibility is now part of the retention metrics, aside from outputs, outcomes, and Key Performance Indicators. /Joey Salgado
