peer agreement (net): +9adjusted for Explanation: To weight means to apply a formula to particular figures (to multiply them by a particular factor) in order to take account of their importance and thus arrive at a more accurate result. I don't have enough context to understand exactly what is going on here, but if for example the employees in Asia hadn't been there throughout the year (because the "acquisitions" meant that they only came on board part-way through the year), then the figures might need to be weighted or adjusted to reflect this. |
