Meta Will Make AI-Driven Impact a Core Performance Metric in 2026

The shift formalizes Meta’s push for an AI‑native workforce by tying evaluations to measurable results starting next year.

Overview

  • An internal memo from head of people Janelle Gale, reported by Business Insider, tells employees that AI-driven impact becomes a core expectation in 2026.
  • Employees will be evaluated on how effectively they use AI to deliver results and build tools that meaningfully boost productivity.
  • For the December 8 review cycle, Meta is introducing an AI Performance Assistant, with staff allowed to use Metamate and Google’s Gemini to draft evaluations and feedback.
  • Individual AI usage metrics will not appear in 2025 reviews, but workers are urged to highlight AI-enabled achievements, and exceptional AI-driven impact this year will be rewarded.
  • The policy aligns with broader Big Tech pressures to adopt AI at work, following Meta’s recent reorganizations and continued investment in AI capabilities.
