360 Degree / Multi-Rater Surveys

Providing feedback and responding to feedback are two essential elements for improving individual effectiveness. Unfortunately, this is an area that proves challenging for most organisations. In fact, if individuals in organisations were truly effective in providing timely, sincere and balanced feedback to each other, there would be little market for multi-rater or 360 degree surveys.

360 degree surveys are immensely popular as a cost effective means for facilitating the provision and receipt of quality feedback for leveraging personal effectiveness.

CompAssess offers a range of both standard and customised 360 degree surveys.

We can also provide professional feedback consultants to help facilitate feedback and planning sessions with individuals. Alternatively, we can train your managers to provide feedback and coach their staff in a constructive and effective manner.

Standard 360 Degree Surveys

CompAssess has a suite of standard 360 degree surveys for individuals and teams looking for feedback on strengths and development opportunities. This is ideal for organisations that do not have their own competency framework and are looking for an “off the shelf” solution. It will also suit organisations that have their own competency framework but do not wish to incur the costs of setting up a customised survey for a small number of people.

There are three different versions of the standard CompAssess 360 degree survey depending on the individual’s role within the organisation:

  • Senior Leader – designed for individuals who manage the organisation at a senior level and who play a significant role in setting the vision and strategic direction of the organisation. Typically applies to someone running a business unit, functional area, division or business
  • Team Manager – designed for individuals who manage a team and who are primarily engaged in making tactical or operational decisions
  • Individual – designed for individuals who do not manage a team but make a valuable contrubution to the organisation.

The key features and benefits of the standard CompAssess 360 degree feedback service are:

  • Simple set-up process, i.e. minimal effort required to run survey
  • Easy to complete online surveys leading to higher response rates
  • Best practice competency based survey content means there is a tighter link to relevant on-the-job behaviours and skills
  • Different surveys for different level roles means there is a stronger alignment to the drivers of performance for different level roles
  • Automated invitations, reminder emails and tracking results in a lower effort managing respondents
  • Informative individual and group reports provide a clear focus on what areas needs to be developed
  • Optional feedback service with professional feedback consultants to deliver feedback and coach around development needs.

Customised 360 Degree Surveys

CompAssess has developed a powerful 360 degree survey solution for customised surveys known as CompAssess Connect.

CompAssess Connect is ideal for organisations that wish to have access to their own 360 degree survey based on the organisation’s own competency framework or unique requirements.

CompAssess Connect is a totally flexible multi-rater survey system that has revolutionised the way 360° feedback is targeted, collected and utilised to leverage the personal insight and development of individuals. Some of the key features and benefits are listed below.

Key Features Major Benefit
Totally customisable survey content The survey shell can be populated with any survey content you like, or we can provide standard survey items for you.
Totally customisable survey presentation The survey can be readily customised to your preferred style - for example, radio buttons or drop down boxes, company logos etc.
On-line completion of surveys The survey is easily and reliably completed on-line, all from an email with attached hyper-link to the survey web site.
Automated follow-up We can see who has and who has not completed their survey without compromising the anonymity of their responses. This allows us to send personalised reminders, ensuring close to 100% compliance.
Paper and pencil administration option For those without internet access, the survey can be also administered in the traditional paper and pencil approach ... or ... better still you can use a combination of approaches.
Automated reporting As soon as the survey is closed we can generate reports in next to real time. And because the process is automated, the reports are accurate and free from human error.
Flexible feedback options We're happy to work with you to implement a feedback and development planning process that both fits within a given budget and adds maximum value.
Group performance trend data Our analysis doesn't finish at the individual level. We will also provide you with a group summary report that is invaluable in identifying group performance trends and organisational development themes.
Scalability The survey cost per respondent is very low, making it an easy and affordable tool to administer to large numbers, or to repeat administrations longitudinally, allowing individuals to demonstrate progress against development goals.
