threesixty° Assessment Reports
Our threesixty° assessment reports deliver a detailed, evidence-based view of performance. With clear visuals and concise summaries, they highlight strengths and identify areas for improvement.
Reviewer Details 1/1
Most tools will force reviewers to be categorised as colleagues, direct reports, or managers - with threesixty° you have the ability to define whatever relationships are required, whether it is director, indirect report, or even relative!
Overall Summary 1/2
The overall summary gives a high-level overview of the focus' scores for each competency included in the threesixty° assessment, organised into common categories including communication, relationships and vision. This overview provides an excellent starting point for analysing an individual's strengths, potential issues and development needs.
Relationship Summary 1/3
The relationship summary describes how each group of reviewers has scored the focus, by splitting their feedback into individual charts. Being able to see the differences in scores for each competency according to the relationship of the reviewer enables you to target any key areas or potential issues that relate to specific groups of colleagues.
Competency Summary 1/4
A threesixty° assessment asks the reviewers to rate a variety of competencies, measured through a number of statements describing the behaviours of the focus. For each competency, you receive an in depth summary of the feedback provided by the reviewers, including a definition of the competency, anonymised comments left by the reviewers, and scores for each competency for reviewers according to their relationship to the focus. Competency summaries are a great way of gaining some in-depth detail about a focus' strengths, potential issues and development needs. threesixty° is incredibly easy to use with any of the 40+ out-of-the-box competencies available in The Psychometric Portal® or, if you have developed your own competency framework, your own.
Behaviour Summary 1/5
Each competency in threesixty° is measured by a number of statements, and the behaviour summary presents a breakdown of the statements that contribute to the overall score of each competency. This is particularly useful for identifying specific strengths and development needs amongst individual behaviours, rather than more general development needs between whole competencies. It is not uncommon for an individual to perform well on a competency, but still have some development needs for specific behaviours.
Development Interventions 1/6
Development interventions are ideal when you want to know how the focus can work towards improving their potential issues or development needs. The range and variety of interventions for all of the standard threesixty° competencies means that there is something for every learning style - whether it is reading that may aid development, potential learning and development solutions, or just simple behavioural change.
Competency Summary & Importance 1/8
These pages form an overview of the entire report, showing the average rating that each group of reviewers has given the focus of the report for all competencies (you can also see how important each group considers these to be). When giving feedback on the report, this is an excellent place for the facilitator to turn to first. Colour coding lets you see at a glance what the outright strengths and development needs of the focus are.
Action Planner 1/9
An Action Planner is provided to help a facilitator arrange with the focus of the report what are appropriate next steps to take, based on what has been learned from the report. Where changes to behaviour are recommended, what concrete actions can the focus take, over what time period and how will the results be observable? Perhaps following the advice of the recommended developmental suggestions, this should form the ideal springboard for next steps.
