Why We Created This 360-Degree Feedback Skills Course
360-degree feedback skills are needed to collect and understand feedback on strengths and weaknesses from individuals that work with them the most (e.g., managers, peers, subordinates, customers, etc.).
If you’re unfamiliar with 360-degree feedback skills, they are also known as multi-source or multi-rater feedback skills.
These skills include:
- Active listening.
- Planning.
- Questioning skills.
- Goal-setting.
Fortunately, the good news is that these skills can be developed quickly through various training workshops, meetings, and activities.
Here are the seven key reasons we believe 360-degree feedback skills are essential.
To illustrate:
- Fastrack highlights that 71% of managers believe employee engagement is one of the most important factors in generating organizational success.
- However, Gallup reports that 51% of employees are disengaged at work. A further 13% reported being actively disengaged. This leaves only 36% of employees being viewed as actively engaged in the workplace.
- Gartner has shown that managers spend 210 hours a year on performance management. While employees spend approximately 40 hours a year.
- Gartner identified that 95% of managers report they are not happy with traditional performance reviews.
- Globoforce reports that 51 % of employees believe that annual reviews are inaccurate. While 53% say it does not motivate them
- Managers can often struggle to complete reviews on time. With 50% of employees’ evaluations overdue by 30 days or more (Society For Human Resource Management).
- An EY survey found that 63% of Gen Z said they prefer to hear timely, constructive performance feedback throughout the year.
