9-Box Grid

The 9-Box Grid is a tool used by organizations to evaluate employees' performance and potential. It displays a 3x3 grid, with one axis representing current performance (low to high) and the other representing future potential (low to high). Employees are placed into one of nine boxes, helping managers identify those who excel now and could grow further, as well as those who may need support or development. This visual helps guide talent development, succession planning, and decision-making around promotions or development initiatives.
