International Org/Dev/Coop / Performance appraisal
Portuguese term or phrase: Mérito na agregação de valores ao xxxx
This is an isolated quote from a performance appraisal. It appears as a cell in a table with no other immediate context. xxxx" stands for the name of the project. Elsewhere in the document it says that the person received an overall rating of "Muito Bom (93%)" I thought of something like "Deserves meritorious recognition for contributing to the values of the xxxx" - not sure if that's the right tone.

Deserves praise for adding value to


Explanation:
Hi, Muriel. It would be a bit less formal, in my understanding. And, although "adding value" may sound too literal, I think it's a common term in business nowadays.

In fact, I believe this is an example of calque from English.

Explanation:
I think you are on the right track. I suggest making the translation a little shorter. "

"Praiseworthy" translates as "meritório", so I think it's in line with the meaning you want to express. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meritório

Perhaps "praiseworthy for adding value to..." or "worthy of praise..."
