— Checking in on performance Review window number one opened May 31

The People Performance Management (PPM) process was reviewed and rede- fined in 2020 to further support the per- formance culture in line with the ABB Way. This includes having goals that are rele- vant and agile throughout the perfor- mance year and enabling real-time, frequent check-ins and more regular performance reviews. Regularly reviewing and discussing individual performance is key to building a culture that supports business perfor- mance. Informal or formal two-way conversations should occur throughout

the year and provide an important opportunity for regular one-on-one connections between managers and employees related to performance. During the PPM review, feedback was received that the mid-year performance review was not flexible enough for business needs. In response to this feedback, three shorter performance review windows are being introduced this year to provide more flexibility and options for capturing performance conversations in the HR Group Tools (HRGT) system.
