Employees Can Track Their Progress

Employees often wonder, Am I performing better than I used to? Has anyone noticed that I’m improving? Are my efforts paying off?

Now there are answers, with a new 360-degree feedback report from Panoramic Feedback. It allows participants to compare their results against their ratings in the previous 360 session.

If you want to know how effective you are, the best solution is to ask those who work with you, using a confidential questionnaire, said Panoramic Feedback CEO Esther Kohn-Bentley. Comparative reports add a useful rear-view mirror. Comparing today’s ratings with how you were rated in the past can be very encouraging.

And if your performance is slipping, it’s a huge benefit to have this early warning system.

Let’s face it, people are usually shy about telling you where you could improve. Especially if you’re the boss. But 360-degree feedback allows them to give you feedback that feels safe and confidential.

Benefits For Trainers
Training organizations appreciate these before-and-after reports. At the conclusion of a course, participants can see how much their skills have improved since it began. The report highlights areas that still need improvement.

Trainers see is an additional benefit. Before-and-after ratings can help them gauge the effectiveness of their training, and demonstrate it to decision-makers.

Easy To Read
Panoramic Feedback reports use easy-to-read bar-graphs to show participants how they were rated. To compare the results from last time, small yellow squares are superimposed on the graphs. Participants have no problem identifying their progress.

Support For Managers
Managers love this feature, said Esther Kohn-Bentley. For instance, they find performance appraisals less worrisome when they have a report on how others view the employee’s progress. It’s reassuring to be able to check out their perceptions.

Areas that have not improved can suggest realistic stretch goals for the employee.

360-degree feedback comparative reports help the organization excel, by motivating improved performance and greater recognition.

Summary
A new 360-degree feedback report from Panoramic Feedback shows participants their before-and-after results. This comparative data helps them establish development goals that will increase their value to their organization.
