A 360-degree survey is a feedback tool which is used to rate an employee, based
on the collective views of the employee's manager, peers, direct reports, and sometimes
clients.
Most companies conduct 360 degree surveys, because they can be powerful tools for
employee or management development. However, until now, a fundamental flaw has severely
reduced the effectiveness of these surveys.
|
|
To really benefit from the feedback, the person being rated should be able to follow
up by means of a more in-depth conversation with selected respondents:
- "What do you mean by this?"
- "When do I display that behavior?"
- "Can you give an example of this behavior?"
- "How do you suggest I correct this?" and so on
Until now, these conversations could only take place if the person being rated knew
the names of the people who provided the specific responses. So, in order to make
the 360 degree survey useful, it was necessary to destroy the anonymity and confidentiality
of the respondents.
Of course, exposing people’s names ensures that they will NOT provide honest feedback.
This is especially true if the employee is rating his or her boss. Very few employees
will openly give negative feedback to their boss, no matter how badly the boss needs
it.
Until now, no-one has been able to resolve the debate. Companies have had to choose
either usefulness OR confidentiality – and the effectiveness of the 360 degree process
has suffered.

has revolutionized the 360
degree survey by solving the age-old debate around usefulness versus confidentiality.
The real power of our system lies in how the feedback is presented. Each person
being rated is able to view all the anonymous feedback given by the respondents.
There might be a few responses which are particularly interesting, and which the
person being rated would like to explore further. While we cannot share the name
of the employee who provided the response, our system facilitates a private online
conversation between the person being rated and this employee. The person being
rated can probe and investigate the specific issues that are being raised, to their
level of satisfaction. The employee remains anonymous throughout this whole process,
to ensure honest and useful responses.
The result is an incredibly powerful and insightful feedback process, which takes
the traditional 360 degree survey to another level.

Within any organization, there are good managers, and there are bad managers. Do
you really know who are the good managers? Most companies don’t.
has developed an incredibly
powerful tool to identify management strength, based on feedback from the employees
themselves.
|
|
For all managers within your organization, we firstly ask all their direct reports
to rate them in a number of different areas relating to their management style,
including:
- Character & Personality
- Work Skills & Strategic Thinking
- Coaching & Employee Development
- Support & Treatment of Employees
- Inspiration & Motivation
- Leadership Skills
- Driving Culture
We then ask a number of open-ended questions:
- What are your manager’s main strengths?
What behaviours should he or she continue doing?
- Are there any areas where your manager could improve?
If you had one piece of advice to give your manager, what would it be?
- Would you recommend a friend of yours to work for your manager?
What could your friend expect?
- Etc.
|
The result is a truly useful and insightful review of the management style of each
manager in your organization. We also provide you with a powerful interactive tool
to identify “hot-spots” of management strength and weakness across the organization.
The results can be broken down by departments, management level, demographics, or
any other variable relevant to your organization.
Our tool enables you to identify the most appropriate management development initiatives
to implement, and determine where they will have the greatest impact.

Talented employees want to work for great bosses.
To career-seekers, the quality of their future manager is one of the most important
criteria on which they base their employment decisions. Career-seekers know that
a good manager can do more to develop them and their careers than any other single
factor. That is why talented and ambitious employees are attracted like a magnet
to strong managers.
allows you to firstly
identify all the strong managers within your organization. We then
showcase these strong managers to prospective career-seekers.
We do this by linking the manager reviews of your strong managers with job vacancies
that the managers in question are trying to fill.
|
|
Talented candidates will then not only be able to read the job description of the
job vacancy, but also gain a unique glimpse into the strength of the management
style of the associated manager. This is incredibly attractive to career-seekers,
and makes it far more likely that you will attract the best.
And if you’re really confident about the management style of your best managers,
our system can allow potential talent to interact anonymously with the employees
who completed these manager reviews. This provides potential candidates with an
unprecedented preview of what to expect if they were to come work for the managers
in question.

Talented employees do not make employment decisions on the basis of pay and benefits
alone. In fact, most talent is very flexible on remuneration if they know that their
future boss is a strong leader who cares about their future career development.
allows you to link your latest
manager review to any job vacancy that you are trying to fill, so that you can attract
the best talent without raising their salary level. Candidates are attracted to
the strong management style of your best managers, and so your organization no longer
has to compete on the basis of salary.
In these turbulent times, you should be leveraging every opportunity to reduce costs
and attract the best talent.
Now allows you to do both
at the same time!
