Many of us have now recognised that the 360 feedback method is a flawed one. Asking all employees to give feedback at once as part of the end of year review process causes frustration and takes up hours and hours of valuable time from HR and employees alike. By its nature 360 feedback is a way of commenting on someone’s past work, often anonymously, rather than a way of giving them guidance on how they can develop and improve their performance. The 360 method takes a lot of time and doesn’t yield very helpful results.
But never fear, because a new and more efficient way of doing feedback is here, let us introduce you to Feedback Circles from Clear Review!
Feedback Circles is the future thinking solution that helps your employees take control of their own development. So why should you switch from the traditional 360 feedback method over to Feedback Circles? Here are a few reasons:
Employee focussed
Feedback Circles allows employees to initiate their own feedback at a time that feels right for them, and not just as part of the review process, putting the power back in their hands. Using the information gathered using Feedback Circles, the employee can then set goals and work on self-development.
Easy to use
Using Feedback Circles couldn’t be easier! With just a few intuitive steps, employees can send out feedback templates, collect responses and easily generate a report. Feedback Circles means no more waiting for HR to initiate the feedback requests and no lengthy admin processes or multiple chains of communication.
Fast
This means the whole feedback process is faster than ever before, with feedback being received in real time when it’s needed. With Feedback Circles there is no waiting around for weeks for feedback to be collected and reports to be completed.
Transparent
By removing the anonymity that usually comes with 360 feedback, you can eliminate any negative tension that might come from overly critical feedback, which can arise when a person isn’t held accountable for the feedback they’ve given. Knowing where feedback has come from also gives employees the opportunity to ask for more information if wanted.
How is this all achieved? Using the new Feedback Circles feature within Clear Review, HR professionals can create feedback templates tailored to the needs of their organisation. These templates can then be used by all employees to request feedback, at any time, in a flash! Once feedback is given, a report is generated instantly.
