The Mid-Year Review process is officially underway, building on the performance review framework introduced in October 2024.

Insights from focus groups in 2024 highlighted a strong desire for a mid-year “check- in” to reflect on how things are going, alignment on goals, and support continued development. This insight shaped the launch of this check-in in the performance cycle.

Over the past few weeks, you should have received:

• Mid-Year Review Guidelines
• Goal Setting Guidelines
• Training Video on Goals
• Invitations to June training sessions

If you missed these resources or did not attend a training session, please contact People Services.

What’s the Purpose?

The Mid-Year Review is designed to be a meaningful check-in conversation between employees and managers. It’s a chance to:

• Reflect on performance and progress since January
• Revisit or establish goals for the remainder of the year
• Share feedback with managers

How Does It Work?

The process is consistent across platforms:

• In the US, use the Performance Management section of ExponentHR
• In the UK, use the Logbooks feature of PeopleHR

Employees complete:

• A self-review of performance to date
• Feedback for their manager

Managers complete:

• What’s going well
• Areas for improvement
• Current “flight status”

Key Dates

• Launch Date: June 16th
• Completion Deadline: July 31st

Direct line managers will provide individual deadlines for completing the employee section.

What’s Next?

In August, you will receive a follow-up survey to gather feedback on the Mid-Year Review process. Your insights will help shape future improvements and ensure the process remains meaningful and effective.

This is a great opportunity to reflect, realign, and refocus for the second half of the year. Thank you for your continued commitment to sharing feedback and supporting each other!
