When is a good time to complete a 360 degree feedback questionnaire?
If you are running a leadership or management development programme, Thomas360 is a great self awareness tool to use prior to commencing the programme. Similarly, a 360 review can add another dimension to an appraisal or performance review.
Should Thomas360 be linked to an appraisal?
The 360 degree feedback questionnaire can be used in conjunction with an appraisal to give the individual a more comprehensive view of their performance.
How is 360 degree feedback different from personality and behavioural assessment?
Personality and behavioural assessment measures behavioural preferences, how you are likely to behave, whilst 360 measures competence and explains how you actually behave. The two combined provide a powerful resource for both individuals and organisations.
Is it confidential?
Yes. The respondent’s names do not appear on the report so the feedback remains anonymous.
How often should 360 degree feedback take place?
Typically every 6 – 12 months should be sufficient, to give employees sufficient opportunity to agree and implement their personal development plans.
How quickly do I get the results?
Once all the respondents have completed the questionnaire a report is generated in seconds.
