When done right, a simple 360 degree feedback exercise can be a powerful way to gather perception gaps, identify hidden strengths, uncover blind spots and understand managerial effectiveness.
It lets organizations collect anonymous feedback from a variety of stakeholders such as self, direct reportees, peers, managers, senior managers and, wherever applicable, customers. Depending on the range of feedback required, our platform also lets you configure a 90 degree, 180 degree or 270 degree feedback.
This information becomes crucial for Training Needs Identification, High Potential Identification, Performance Appraisal and Leadership development decisions! But no one is happy with the strain on admins, raters and the business.
Read on to see how ECHO360 relieves some of the admin, rater and business fatigue you may be facing!
ECHO360 reports help the candidates and the organization through a visual representation of the underlying perception gaps between the self rating and the stakeholder rating. Self rating is the reflection of one’s ideal self and stakeholder rating is believed to be the reference point for reality. People by nature are motivated to reach a place where self concept is closely aligned to the perceptions specifically in the professional settings. Thus, they become more motivated to work on themselves, if they observe a gap between what others perceive them as and their own rating to minimize the gap. This leads us to propose that perception gaps are the biggest take-away from a 360 degree feedback report.
