In human resources terms, 360º Profiling is a way of getting feedback from a number of people who work directly or indirectly with the employee concerned on a structured range of behaviours related to their job role.
It helps the employee gain a realistic, balanced view of how others perceive them and is more likely to be accepted as it is from a number of people rather than just their line manager. Consequently the employee is more likely to take ownership of their own learning and development needs. Because of the speciifc, structured nature of the feedback, individuals clearly understand what they are good at and what opportunities exist to further improve.
Adalta work in partnership with organsiations to develop bespoke, online 360° Profiling tools that can provide them with the measures they want. Custom 360° Profiling tools have a wide range of applications, for example:
To provide behavioural measures in line with existing competency frameworks
To support Performance Management processes / Performance Reviews
To benchmark performance standards within teams and assess individuals
To identify training needs / offer a foundation for subsequent training & development
