Case Study: Aarque Group achieves strategic alignment and improved performance with PeopleStreme

How Aarque boosted their organisational alignment and engagement scores

Aarque Group, New Zealand’s leading digital print solutions provider, faced fragmented communication, paper‑based annual reviews, and weak alignment of employee activity to company strategy across departments and two islands. To tackle these challenges they engaged PeopleStreme and launched a tailored people management platform called "my RQ," using PeopleStreme’s Performance and Strategic Alignment solution and Performance Management module.

PeopleStreme implemented the my RQ platform (supported by VQTQ objective‑writing training), replacing ad‑hoc paper reviews with regular one‑on‑ones, smart KPIs, aligned performance objectives to company goals, and integrated engagement surveys. The solution gave senior management clear visibility of performance and strategic execution, improved culture and communication, reduced the risk of losing key staff, and set the business up to realise expected financial benefits in costs and margin — outcomes delivered by PeopleStreme.
