Getfeedback February 2017 Newsletter

Welcome to the Getfeedback regular update,

We have hit the ground running this year with some exciting new projects and engagements. As we continue to see the benefit in focusing on strengths in leadership development we have begun to apply this to other areas of our work across the talent lifecycle. One of the articles in this newsletter explores taking a strengths based approach to recruitment and is well worth a read.

It seems like we have just returned from our skiing team build but we continue to move our system and products forward - we are happy to announce that we now offer Honey and Munford's learning styles questionnaire on our platform as well as welcoming a number of new bespoke 360 clients in the first few weeks of this year.

We have also seen a surge of new systems clients with individuals taking advantage of our free systems set up earlier this year - this offer will end at the end of February so if you are reviewing your testing requirements it is well worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. To find out more give one of the team a call on 01491 845521, check out our website or come and see us on stand 792 at the Learning and Development show in May.

Case Study: Accelerating development at B&Q

In August 2015 B&Q started looking for a 360 degree feedback provider. B&Q had worked with paper-based 360 assessments previously and required more flexibility and room for tailoring to the company's behaviours and goals at three different points. B&Q launched their SSO Aspire programme with Getfeedback's support in late 2015.

Honey and Mumford Learning Styles Questionnaire

Getfeedback are pleased to announce the Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) has been added to our product list and is available now. The LSQ is designed to help individuals identify their preferred learning style and also provide them with guidance on how to develop their weaker styles in order to maximise all learning opportunities and improve performance.

Taking a strength based approach to recruitment

Recruiting high performers into role is much more difficult than it appears at first. The true cost of the wrong hire is not just measured in time and cost spent on recruitment but in the intangibles- So how do you find the right person for the role?
