360 degree feedback survey’s are a great way for managers to solicit feedback from their boss, direct reports and colleagues. The purpose of a 360 degree feedback survey is to help managers learn more about their perceived strengths and weakenesses and ultimately to identify opportunities to be more effective.
For The Business, 360 degree feedback surveys offer a glimpse into the mindset of the field salesforce, and how they percieve their managers overall effectiveness.
More on 360 Degree Feedback:
· Its focus is on professional development.
· Feedback is anonymous, except from boss.
· It measures perceptions, but not necessarily truth.
· It should be comprehensive and specific.
· It gives the manager responsibility for their own development.
When Choosing Respondents:
· Choose people who you believe will provide honest, useful feedback. Choosing your best bud in accounting, because you know he’ll give you great feedback, will not help your development. Choose people that you interact and collaberate with regularily, even if there has been tension between you in the past.
· Choose people that you have worked with for at least three, preferably six months
· Make sure everyone is aware that their feedback will be anonymous and will not be held against them!
· The larger the sample the better; choose a minimum of 6 respondents from your colleagues and all your direct reports should participate
The process typically works as follows:
1) The 360 degree feedback vendor loads the model and participants into the system.
2) An invitation email is sent to participants asking them to use a unique username and password provided to them to log on to the website and complete their respondent list and self evaluation. They will enter the names and email addresses of those they wish to receive feedback from and complete a short self evaluation questionnaire.
3) The 360 degree feedback vendor then sends invitation emails to the respondents asking for their feedback.
4) Reminder emails are sent continuously from the 360 degree feedback vendor until data is collected.
5) The 360 degree feedback vendor closes the event approximately 30 days later.
6) 7 business days from the event closing, the 360 degree feedback vendor will ship the reports to Human Resources
7) Human Resources books time with management to go over the results and build an action plan to address urgent issues
360 degree feedback, presented properly, is a great way to solicit confidential feedback from the field. Great managers will respect the results and work to address open issues.
