Listening, Evolving & Growing Together: Our New Performance Review Approach By Cheryl Avrabos

Cheryl Avrabos Vice President, People & Culture

Over the past year, we’ve spent time listening closely to our people. Through surveys, conversations, and candid feedback, one theme came through loud and clear: our team members want clearer career growth, more regular feedback, and meaningful development conversations that go beyond an annual review. In response, we’ve completely reimagined our performance review process, shifting the focus from evaluation to growth. This wasn’t about updating a form or tweaking a rating scale; it was about creating something that truly helps everyone understand where they stand, what’s next, and how to get there. Ultimately, this change is about fostering a culture of continuous learning, one where feedback is part of everyday work, and where every team member can see a future here that’s both challenging and rewarding. Why We Made the Change Our industry continues to evolve rapidly. To stay at the forefront, we need to invest in our people as intentionally as we invest in our projects. We recognized that our traditional review model no longer reflected how our teams actually work: collaboratively, dynamically, and in real time. By modernizing our process, we’re ensuring that career growth and performance discussions are more timely, transparent, and forward-focused. The Benefits We Hope to See By shifting the focus from evaluation to development, we aim to: • Encourage open, two-way dialogue that builds trust and alignment. • Empower everyone to take an active role in their own growth and career direction. • Strengthen our leadership pipeline and develop future-ready talent. • Create a consistent, fair process that celebrates achievement while identifying opportunities for growth. Looking Ahead Anchored in our core values - teamwork, spirit, collaboration, innovation, and stewardship - his evolution brings our Employee Value Proposition to life by fostering a culture of growth, connection, and opportunity where people can thrive and make a lasting impact. Our hope is that this new approach turns feedback into something to look forward to, a tool for connection, learning, and success. We know change takes time, and we’re committed to refining the process as we learn from your experiences and feedback. Because when our people grow, we all grow, and that’s what drives our success.
