Dear Colleagues:

What improves employee engagement and performance?  Research shows it is neither the technology we use nor the annual performance review.  Instead, it is the day-to-day process of articulating expectations, providing and receiving constructive feedback and leveraging employee talents that makes the difference. 

To support more consistent and meaningful engagement for Abt employees around the world, all supervisors will meet with their direct reports for the Mid-Year Performance Review Evaluation Plan.  MYPREP meetings will take place between Monday, November 4 and Friday, December 6 with the following agenda:

·         Conduct a two-way conversation to share feedback on the first seven months of FY14

·         Communicate expectations for the next five months

·         Review and update FY14 goals, if necessary, in the ATLAS system

To modify your FY14 Goals in ATLAS, refer to the attached ATLAS Goals - Quick Reference Guide for instruction.  It is easy!

Employees and Supervisors, for your 30 minute MYPREP meeting time, please use charge code:  17488-2000.
