Questions Regarding 360 Survey

What is the 360-degree feedback?

Performex gathers feedback in five key management skill areas in order to individualize your program to fit your specific needs. We survey your supervising manager, peers, direct reports, and others who interact with you during your workday. This information is then compiled into a feedback report and analyzed by your workshop facilitator to make your program the most meaningful to you.

What is a “Survey Invitation?

Once you have registered for a workshop and we have gathered the list of survey contributors then Performex survey administrator will send you an email invitation specific to each individual taking the survey. You will have unlimited access to the survey until you complete the process by clicking “Submit to Performex.” Keep this invitation email and the link included in the email private, because that will be the only way to ensure your feedback will be confidential.

What kind of information do you collect in the survey?

The survey asks respondents to evaluate your management performance numerically (from 1-5) in several key management skill groups: communicating, planning, reviewing, coaching, and leading. Then we ask the respondent for written comments on your strengths and challenges in each of these same management skill areas.

How do you ensure my anonymity as a respondent when filling out the survey?

The participant and supervising manager comments are identified and labeled in the feedback report. All others, i.e. peers, direct reports, associates and others are grouped by relationship classification. We take the extra step to shuffle the responses and comments throughout the report to further preserve the respondent’s identity. Be aware of phraseology and examples that may inadvertently reveal your identity.

Summit 3-Day Workshop

In 360-degree feedback, what is meant by numerical and written comments?

The 360-degree feedback report is compiled through the use of a survey which asks for numerical ratings (1-5) as well as written comments in key management skill areas: communicating, planning, coaching, reviewing, and leading.

What makes this a 12 month program?

We begin both of our Performex Excellence ProgramsTM with 360-degree feedback and a self-administered diagnostic instrument. This data and feedback allows Performex to tailor the three-day Summit and four-day Pinnacle initial workshops to meet individual needs of your participating employees. Our ongoing follow-up after the workshop is extensive. It begins with a summary report meeting between the participant, his or her team leader, and the assigned PerformexTMcoach. During this meeting, typically held 4 – 7 weeks after the workshop, there is a review of the participant’s takeaways from the workshop, trends in the feedback data, and the 2 personal developmental plans that are created in the initial workshop. The outputs of this meeting include refined and agreed upon personal developmental plans which will be implemented during the next 11 months. During the implementation period there are 4 coaching sessions, a second workshop, and topic specific webinars. These components of the program offer ongoing support from our expert coaches and ensure maximum management effectiveness back on the job. The program concludes with an annual 360 resurvey and the accompanying final debriefing consultation to track success and compare results for further development.

We create a safe environment where you can maximize your strengths and find solutions to your challenge areas.

How long does the survey take to complete?

Most respondents report that time spent answering the survey questions is 20-40 minutes, depending upon the length of written comments.
