Subject: Reminder About Annual Performance Reviews
Dear Employees,
This is a reminder that annual performance reviews will begin next Monday. All employees are required to complete a self-evaluation form before meeting with their supervisors.

The review process is expected to take approximately two weeks.

If you have any questions regarding the review process, please contact the Human Resources department.
Thank you for your cooperation.
