PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

We also promote fair labor practices and a diverse workforce. We host activities that raise awareness of societal problems, encourage philanthropy and organize community service activities. We support career growth and development, offer a mentoring program and foster a collaborative work environment. AMB’s Human Resources department has organizational responsibility regarding labor practices and our workforce.

The most recent year, 2008, represents an increase in turnover, commensurate with the global economic downturn. Turnover rate was compared to data provided by NAREIT Compensation & Benefits Survey and US Department of Labor Job Opening and Labor Turnover Report.

Our benefits vary by country but typically include:

• Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
• Paid time off
• Flexible spending accounts for medical purposes
• Life and disability benefits
• Retirement plans and contributions
• Bonuses for those who achieve and exceed goals
• Wellness program
• Continuing education and reimbursement
• Stock option plan
• Nonqualified deferred compensation plan
• Employee assistance program

Our Human Resources department counsels employees on their benefits and provides resources to address questions and concerns. Complaints or grievances may be submitted and addressed confidentially.

AMB integrates two core programs to promote lifelong learning: a mandatory performance management program for every employee that fosters open communication between manager and employee, and a cross-departmental mentorship for a broader perspective on the business. In addition to these, AMB supports skills management programs such as industry seminars/conferences, internships, tuition reimbursement, “on-the-job-training” programs, technology training and management training programs.

AMB also provides opportunities for informal learning, through periodic All-Hands meetings to address companywide issues in an informal and interactive setting and brownbag lunches, where recent industry events are reported upon by those in attendance. More recently, AMB’s CEO has created a series of “video chats” to make information about the current economic instability and its effect on AMB’s business plans available to all employees.

AMB also requires employees to submit annual Goals and Objectives to help guide professional development, and to assess individual performance relative to employees’ goals.
