Talent Management
Avoiding 'should' in 360
Asking a rater in a 360 review to comment on what the participant 'should' do, can be a deadly mistake in your 360 programme.
If you're an SME and looking to get started with 360 degree feedback, then our e-book is a must read.
Are you thinking about introducing 360 reviews but don't know where to begin?
If so, you're like the many other businesses with a strong understanding of the value of 360 but with limited resources - and you're probably not really sure of the essential steps to take.
Our e-book can help.
Perhaps you're overwhelmed by the abundance of 'best practice', the so-called necessity to design something specific for your business and the need for technical know-how with software to install and to get to grips with.
You are not alone. And that's why we developed an e-book which outlines very clearly how to get started with 360 degree feedback and with other areas of talent management. It provides practical ideas about the things to do. Specifically it:
- Outlines the 5 essential areas on which to focus
- Offers tips on how to get buy-in with your employees, leadership team and how to deal with any of the common 'emotional' objections
- Suggests that you start with a small group as an initial pilot to both learn what to do, and use as champions in the business
- Helps you set ground rules up front - giving you the words and rationale for how the reviews are to be used
- Highlights what to look for when deciding on the questionnaire itself - be it the time it takes to complete, the competencies to be measured, the rating scales to be used or the specific words to avoid.
- Offers suggestions as to how to prepare employees to take part whether as a participant of the 360 (the person being reviewed) or those who are reviewing - and the words to use (and avoid!)
This e-book will give you the perfect route map to get started not just with 360 reviews but also continuous performance management, succession planning and employee engagement.
