360° Assessments

The use of 360º assessments to develop managers, executives, sales people, customer service staff, etc. has grown exponentially in recent years. It can be difficult to select a generic instrument to assess the required competencies for your people. The problem becomes even harder because different jobs require different competencies.

There is a better way!

  • Build your own 360° and 180º assessments tailored to the exact needs of your company.

  • Use different 360° and 180º instruments for different jobs.

  • Include technical competencies in the assessment.

focus automatically builds a customised, 360° multi-assessor assessment each time that you complete a job profile. Just initiate a multi-assessor assessment whenever you want it!

focus 360° Assessments Features and Benefits

  • Effortlessly Supports Multiple 360° Instruments
    Why assess everybody with one or two generic instruments when you can get customised feedback?

  • Complete multiple assessments simultaneously
    focus allows users to select and complete multiple 360° assessments. This significantly reduces time and effort, a real benefit to busy managers.

  • Supports Detailed Comments
    Often explanatory comments or developmental suggestions are more important than a rating. focus allows assessors to add comments for each competency or skill assessed.

  • On-line Assessor Selection & Review
    focus allows you to choose assessors centrally, let assessees select their assessors, or a combination of both. The managerial review option allows oversight.

  • Advanced Options Increase Objectivity
    Optional features allow calibration of ratings to a company norm and integration of multiple assessments by a single person (e.g. a manager) into a final rating.

  • Public or Private Supported
    Whether you want supervisors and mentors to have access to assessment data or keep results private for viewing only by the assessee, focus supports it.

  • Informal Assessments
    Any focus user at any time can initiate an assessment of themselves and choose the participants.

  • Integrated with other focus Functions
    360° reviews are most effective when integrated into other processes. In focus, they are tied to training needs analysis, development, succession planning, and more.

Typical Steps to Implement focus 360° Assessments

  • Complete specific or general job profiles.

  • Initiate a formal (by administrator) or informal assessment (by assessee).

  • Select assessors and review if desired.

  • Assessors complete assessments.

  • Assessees and/or their managers view the results.

"The 360º process using focus technology is very easy, time efficient and fair. It enables you to identify training priorities, development, and succession planning goals."
