APM Team,

Thank YOU! once again for the engagement in our significant focuses this summer – the S&Q Leader Training, the EX Survey – as well as your continued job execution with SQDC excellence.

Based on your EX Survey feedback, we continue to focus on strategies to help all of us balance the demands of our business model with our personal lives, particularly during heavy outage seasons. All of us feel this stress at times each outage season.

There are actions we are pushing at the organizational level to help alleviate some of the demands. The EX Council began meeting this week to discuss what else we can do in APM to help. I want to thank those of you who have volunteered to serve on the Council.

We also have another focus – investing in our collective skills for increased Resilience to weather the challenges thrown at us, both at work and at home. Over the next four months, we will be focused on the topic of Resilience. You will see it in blogs, hear about it in meetings, and be invited to join voluntary learning sessions each month to enhance your knowledge and skills. I encourage you to be engaged and take advantage of this opportunity. Our goal is to help you and empower you to manage stress effectively and productivity.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the APM mission. Each of you is important.

…Jake
