The benefits of benchmarking your 360 degree feedback surveys
At Getfeedback we have recently introduced a range of benchmarking options for our 360 degree feedback surveys, enabling clients to measure progress for individuals year on year, or compare individual and team results to external data or internal comparison groups. In addition to the well documented benefits of undertaking a well-designed 360, benchmarking provides the following benefits:
- The ability for line managers to see the return on investment from training, with clear outputs such as behavioural shifts recorded
- To externally track behavioural performance against other high performing organisations to feed into training needs, individual development and wider people strategy
- The ability to identify high performing areas and teams to feed into best practice and organisation wide training and development plans
- The creation of targeted development plans for employees and a clear understanding from their line manager of areas to focus on in the year ahead based on wider organisational needs.
Click here for more information on our 360 degree feedback surveys and contact us to find out more about our new benchmarking options.
