Peter Farrow, MD Thomas UK comments, To achieve massive improvements in the performance of both individuals and organisations you need to begin with a strong platform of awareness and understanding. For individuals this means not only an awareness of self but also an understanding of how others within the organisation perceive them.î

ìThomas360 builds on our personality and behavioural tools (PPA and Thomas EIQ) by enabling objective, structured and in-depth information about performance. Thomasí personality and behavioural assessments and tools measure behavioural preference; Thomas360 measures competence and explains how a person is actually behaving. The two combined provide a powerful resource for any organisation looking to dramatically increase its performance levels and increase profitability.î

360 degree feedback is a process that enables people to gather performance feedback from those they work with and compare it with their own perception of their performance. It provides information on skills, behaviours and working relationships.

360 degree feedback can help businesses to make the most of their people. Strengths and weaknesses can be pinpointed and training needs identified. Helping individuals to become aware of how others perceive them and to manage their behaviour results in a more productive workforce, meaning better performance for the organisation.

Malcolm Menard, Regional Director North comments, Thomas360 can massively increase a person’s self awareness and can be used as the foundation for personal development as well as strategic organisational planning. Used alongside PPA and Thomas EIQ, Thomas360 can truly harness the potential of your people.
