Creating a bespoke 360°feedback survey for your organisation
Maybe you already have a 360 feedback survey that you run internally, or perhaps you have just designed and implemented a new competency framework for your organisation. In either situation it’s essential that you, the organisation and the individuals taking part get the most out of any 360 feedback process.
There’s no denying that a bespoke survey is likely to reap the greatest benefits. A survey that uses your language and is precisely aligned to your goals is going to yield the most valuable information for your employees to work with and take action on. Creating a survey that has the look and feel that your employees connect with can help to create buy-in as well as reinforce the company’s value for its people. We can brand your survey to meet your requirements.
The first stage would be to validate your framework or existing survey – that is check that is really measuring what you want and need it to. We have extensive experience, gathered over many years, of designing and validating competency frameworks. This is a really important step. Employees taking part in the survey need to be able to precisely identify what they need to be doing to improve their performance so that it has a direct impact on the organisations performance.
If a survey needs to be designed one of our consultants will work with you to write behavioural statements that are clear, precise and important for your organisation. Once this has been done we’ll set up your survey on our secure online platform. You can then administer the survey yourself (with training on how to do this from us), or we can manage the whole process for you.
We can also advise on how to engage and communicate with those taking part in the survey before launching the survey. If you need advice on how to deliver the feedback to individual we can help you with that. It’s not just the survey that can be customised. You can choose between our brilliant standard reports, or we can, for example, work with you to create a development report that doubles up as a workbook to support your employees’ development, not just a report full of tables and charts.
We recommend that you choose a 360 portal for your survey. This option offers optimum security and convenience, providing your delegates with a single hub of all 360 activity, whether it’s making nominations, completing surveys for colleagues or self or retrieving their reports.
Whichever option you go for you can do so safe in the knowledge that you’re working with people who know people and know how to get the very best out them.
