You will be aware that the union agreed with BT a new approach to the company's performance management system to take effect from 1 April 2010 (i.e. the current performance year).

As part of our ongoing monitoring of how the system is working, we have put together a short questionnaire which looks at your experiences of the system so far, the ratings that you have been awarded and your views about some of the principles under which performance management operates in BT.

We would very much hope that you will fill the survey in - it will add greatly to our store of knowledge of performance management and the general results will be shared both with members and with the company. Do encourage your colleagues also to complete the questionnaire - the more returns we get, the better our knowledge and the more successfully we can represent you to the company.

The survey is on the right hand side of the page and will remain open until 28 March when it will be closed for analysis, but we would be happy to have your response as soon as possible!
