acted on many of your recommendations . these are a few of the things we ' ve
accomplished in direct response to your input :

the opportunity to have frontline discussions ,
 the " innovation series , " which invites employees to share their ideas
openly and ensures management commitment to evaluating ideas ,
 e - speak sessions with ets leaders to exchange ideas , and
 our name change to enron transportation services to recognize our most
strategic asset - you .
 we made workload planning and management training / development available to
ets employees to address workload issues , the greatest ets concern in the
survey .
 we improved the consistency of performance management , the survey topic
that received the most employee comments , by extending the use of the
performance evaluation process ( pep ) system and the performance review
committee ( prc ) process to all levels in ets at mid - year in 2000 .
