Item# LDV9 - A 360 Survey Linked to a Proprietary Portfolio of Behaviors and Competencies

 

Most 360’s are straight survey tools and thus fall short of matching up survey responses with the ratees’ competencies as measured via an objective psychometric assessment. As a result, it can be difficult for the ratee to focus specific areas for development. This on- line, 360 survey tool instead couples the 360 survey results with the ratee’s own behavioral / competency assessment. The ratee takes an on-line behavioral assessment and then inputs rater’s names and emails. HR leaders approve /edit the list of raters. An email is then sent to all raters to take the survey. Once all raters are finished with the survey, a Summary Feedback Report that combines the self-assessment and survey data is delivered to HR and / or management. The tool provides insight on leadership strengths and weaknesses from multiple stakeholders based on soft skill competencies specific for that job so as to improve performance, address leadership challenges and / or develop high potentials.
