   1. If you cannot find your job description or do not believe you have an updated one, be prepared to give your best estimation of your primary roles during your review. Then, work together with your local leadership to submit a new Job Description.
2. In your Reliant email inbox, find the email with the link to the Annual Review. If you can't find the Annual Review email, please email your Program Team.

4. Rename the Google Sheet to "2025 Spring Annual Review (Last Name, First Name)".
5. Review the Employee Input tab. You will need to complete all of the boxes highlighted in blue. Once you complete the field, it will no longer be blue.

When complete, use the Share button in the upper right-hand corner and share the document with your Supervisor and any other person completing your Annual Review. (E.g., a Church Personnel Committee)

Supervisor

The Employee will share the Annual Review Google Sheet with you to begin the process, so please watch your inbox for that notification email.

1. Once you access the Google Sheet, review the Employee Input tab to see how the Employee completed their self-assessment and comments.
2. Go to the Supervisor Input tab. You will need to complete all of the boxes highlighted in yellow. Once you complete the field, it will no longer be yellow.

When complete, submit the Annual Review by typing your name at the bottom of the document and adding a comment that says Completed.

Annual Review

The annual review begins with the missionary completing the Missionary Input tab, which allows them to do a self-assessment on their performance of MTD, Ministry Duties, Ministry Skills, and Character. They will also share their accomplishments over the past year and goals for the following year.

The Annual Review should be tailored to the job role. Like the previous version, the Missionary will add five to seven of their most significant ministry duties to the Review. The missionary can also select five ministry skills from a list (or add skills, not on the list) that are most necessary for their role and complete a self-assessment on those skills.

The rating scales have also been changed on the new Annual Review to more simplified language. 

After the Missionary completes their portion, they will share it with their Supervisors and/or other leaders who will complete the Annual Review. The Supervisor should review the Missionary Input tab and then fill out the Supervisor Input tab. The Missionary will be able to see what the Supervisor entered in the Annual Review.

Video Tutorials are available for Missionaries and Supervisors to view before starting their portions of the Annual Review.

Missionary Staff Level Updates

The titles and descriptions for Staff Levels have been updated for 2022. The new levels align closely with the previous levels, but the descriptions focus more on the responsibilities and experience required for the role. The transition to the new staff levels will occur over the next several months.

Missionary Staff Level Transition

The staff level for U.S.-based, career missionaries will automatically convert from the current levels to the new level names:

The salary ranges will also transfer over. (E.g., Missionary Staff 2 range will be the same as the Level 2 range for 2022.)
