360 Degree Feedback & Development
Every company and Government agency can benefit from implementing 360 Degree Feedback & Development for their employees. 360 Degree Feedback is sourced anonymously from multiple team members in an organization who work directly with the employees being assessed. Feedback is tailored to each individual employee, helping them to develop their skills, identify areas for improvement, and build upon their strengths.
“apc’s 360 Degree Feedback & Development program is a game changer. It helped our employees identify their strengths and opportunities and develop their skills, resulting in improved business performance and a more engaged workforce overall.” – apc Federal Government Client
360 Degree Feedback is not meant to assess employee performance or be tied to pay or promotions. It should be used solely for development, ensuring honest and constructive insight for the employee. When they receive this unfiltered outside view of their actions and behavior, they can immediately see what others see compared to how they view themselves, and take action to enhance their strengths and improve upon their opportunities.
It also gives senior leaders a better understanding of how they can help. As a result, talent is optimized, which ultimately improves overall business performance and impact.
