Manager 360°

Turning vision into a reality is arguably one of the key challenges facing today’s businesses. Manager 360° helps align managers and their bosses by identifying and comparing the six critical skills required for success in a role. This helps identify talents, gaps, and focus areas to get everyone on the same page to deliver on the organization’s strategy.

The heart of this assessment is a 360-degree survey. It is used primarily to evaluate the effectiveness of your managers and leaders. This survey combines feedback from Direct Reports, Peers, Supervisors, and even customers, with a personalized program for developing specific leadership skills based on that feedback. This process highlights a manager’s job performance in eight Universal Management Competencies: Communication, Leadership, Adaptability, Relationships, Task Management, Production, Development of Others, and Personal Development.

How Does It Work?
This foundational survey used to:

• Gather perceptions of the manager’s leadership capabilities from the manager, and a reference group of boss, peers and direct reports, and has the ability to collect comments on each competency being measured.
• Enable a complete understanding of the manager’s capabilities across eight universal Management Competencies and 18 key Skill Sets.
• Provide insight into each Skill Set through a robust set of reports, including a detailed development plan for the individual and coaching and management considerations for those who supervise the manager.
• Give senior leadership an overview of talents, gaps, and focus areas for the organization.

Job Matching & Peak Performance Assessment

Given the opportunity to land a new job or to be promoted, people may tell you what you want to hear instead of the truth. Additionally, individual success often depends on the specific type of job and the organization in which they would work. The cost of a bad hire is very high considering the hiring and ramp-up costs, low productivity, and disruption to customers and co-workers.

The Job Matching and Peak Performance Assessment measures how well an individual fits specific jobs in your organization. The “job matching” feature is unique, and it enables you to evaluate an individual in relation to the qualities required to successfully perform in a specific job. It is can also be used throughout the employee life cycle for selection, onboarding, managing and strategic workforce planning.

Giving this information to managers helps them be more effective and get the very most from their people. This assessment provides THE information most organizations try to obtain from a face-to-face interview and can continue to be used to train, manage and develop the employee in the future.
