360s: a tool to improve business performance
Many businesses are missing a trick by not using 360s – and if they do, not using them effectively.
A common challenge for 360s is overly generous feedback from peers and direct reports. Therefore, it’s hard to get a true picture that provides evidence to build effective development plans, support the exiting of staff who aren’t performing and identify future stars.
Our approach goes beyond traditional 360-degree feedback by introducing ‘TIF’ — Timely Improvement Feedback. This model ensures that feedback isn’t just received but is acted on effectively.
Our three steps to add value
360s can be triggered by employees at any point through the year. On-demand 360s allow employees to initiate feedback whenever it’s most relevant to them. This spreads the workload for reviewers, boosts take-up and delivers better value.
We tailor questions to different management levels and functions, ensuring relevance and precision.
Traditional scales of how well people are performing can be replaced by action-orientated scales which identify what they need to do more of or change how they do it. Crucially we separately uncover which items are most important for the employee to work on.
The subsequent results help produce improvement plans that identify the top three priorities for an individual and the outcome is that managers can identify what is important for their role and are clear as to the action they need to take.
For OD teams the prioritisation of activities by reviewers reveals globally what are the critical aspects for each role and level in the organisation, enabling relevant development efforts across the business.
Embedded improvement planning turns the feedback into actions which the manager will take (therefore delivering the benefit). Additionally, timely improvement feedback is used to check that the manager is actioning their plan correctly and gathering further guidance during implementation to maximise beneficial change.
Working with any-3
any-3's approach is to work with you collaboratively, creating the questions and delivering an easy-to-use self-service facility which is cost-effective and delivers improvement.
Our approach transforms 360s from an expensive tick-box exercise into a powerful tool for growth, clarity, and strategic talent development.
