As an element of personal and professional development, Altruist Media employs an individual and peer-to-peer feedback and personal development system! Our system is integrated with out communication platform, Slack, where you will be able to do simple feedback, kudos, and continuous skills review/improvement through Matter.
Staff are expected to request feedback as often as possible from their Managers/Peers and all staff are required to participation in Feedback Fridays! For tracking, the VP Admin/COO, will ask for a screenshot of your Matter Skills every month to plan for promotions!
We urge everyone to maintain a constructive outlook and a lot of honour when participating in this peer-to-peer feedback system as it encourages a lot of trust and camaraderies among the team, but can easily be corrupted if not not conducted in good faith! Start giving/getting feedback in Slack today!
You may request individual 1:1 meetings, or ‘1-on-1s’, with your supervisor to review your performance by reaching out to them directly. In the future, the COO may ask for some information to be reviewed for disciplinary reasons and/or promotion reasons!
Using our Slack Bot: ‘Sup’, all employees are required to submit a daily report of what they did the day before, today, and any issues/blockers in their activity at 2100hrs EST. This helps us hold eachother accountable and helps supervisors/managers ensure their teams are productive!
Your scores on Matter are an excellent metric for quantifying strengths and weaknesses in your work... and that’s why we will never ask or retrieve your data from Matter. Those are YOUR scores and are for your benefit, rather than for some arbitrary metric of productivity.
The only ‘scores’ we measure are the number of times you participate in feedback sessions/kudos, how regularly you complete and submit daily check-ins, and your attendance and participation in important meetings.
When we evaluate staff for promotions/added benefits/opportunities, we turn to their immediate supervisor, their peers, and the aforementioned metrics, as well as an interview process with the staff member themselves.
