Welcome to the Arqaam 360° feedback system
I am pleased to welcome you to the Arqaam 360° Feedback system. We are launching this system as part of the 2009 Appraisal process as it provides a valuable opportunity for our staff to provide and receive feedback on each other as a means of improving performance.
360° works by gathering the opinions of a number of people within the firm on you – your line manager, colleagues, peers and others with whom you have regular dealings – not to forget you also! Participants are prompted to answer a series of carefully structured questions which have been designed to assess your performance by reference to the Arqaam Competency Framework. The responses from all the participants are then compiled into a feedback report which will then be discussed with your Appraiser as part of the annual performance review. The respondents cannot be identified in the report and because we are using an outside third party to administer the scheme, this offers the opportunity for people to give confidential feedback in a safe environment.
In order for the 360 reports to be available for the annual performance appraisal process it is important that everyone completes all their reviews by close of business on 6 August 2009. Your co-operation in meeting this deadline will be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Marc
