360° feedback is one of the most widely used research and development tools in the world. It delivers value to the organisation, enabling it to consciously shape a culture of leadership and collaboration. Participating in a feedback-based development programme helps managers understand their own talents and areas for change, and builds awareness of the impact their management style has on others. It provides motivation for development and facilitates development planning.
We offer our Clients a research tool tailored to the needs of their organisation. We offer, among others, assistance at the survey planning stage, full customisation of the questionnaire (types of questions, scales), a confidential online survey process and valuable reports that clearly present the key findings.
What is 360° feedback?
It is a method of providing comprehensive feedback on the quality of work. It is used as a diagnostic tool and as a motivator for action. As described by Peter Ward: “the subject of the assessment is the work performed daily, and the results usually relate to the measurement of key competencies for a specific position”.
The name “360-degree feedback” comes from collecting feedback from four points of view: from the supervisor, collaborators, subordinates and external customers. Thanks to the fact that information comes from several sources and provides multiple perspectives, the obtained image of the assessed person’s performance is diverse and reliable. Everyone refers to the same criteria, which has a positive impact on the reliability of the results of the survey and makes it possible to compare the self-assessment of an employee’s competencies with the assessments of others.
What do we measure and evaluate?
With the help of 360° feedback, we can measure interactions within the team or the effectiveness of individual employees’ competencies, as well as how the participant is perceived within the company. The data is provided by selected people who are in direct contact with the assessed person, i.e. those who are most affected by his/her actions and behaviours (also in the case of remote work).
In a 360° feedback, we primarily examine the perceived competencies and behaviours of the manager/employee. Thus, it is not an objective method, but a diverse picture of subjective opinions. Thanks to them, the participant in the 360° feedback process can see how others see him, how, according to employees, customers and superiors, he builds relationships and completes tasks. This is a very solid basis for understanding what they do well, what is worth strengthening and improving, and what needs to be changed. The assessment results are presented in an individual report in the form of averaged assessments of particular competencies within a given respondent group (e.g. from subordinates). Thanks to this, they are anonymous, and conducting the survey online additionally gives the advantage of fast data aggregation.
How to use 360° feedback?
360° feedback can be conducted:
360° feedback gives the best results when based on a well-prepared competency model, and when combined with individual feedback after the assessment (discussing the results, planning further development and goals to achieve).
