Hi Marcus,

For feedback to be effective, it needs to be helpful and given in a manner that allows an employee to understand if his or her performance is having the intended effect. Constructive feedback can positive or negative. The more specific the feedback, the more likely the employee will understand and be able to replicate the desired performance. Many organization using 360-degree feedback will have desired outcomes embedded in its strategic planning goals and its site improvement plans. A common expectation for supervisors is that achievement of their subordinates will improve continuously over time. Do you think companies that have employees who work for remote managers and work on projects for different teams find it difficult to gather multi-rater feedback as input for their performance ratings?

Good post.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you! Assessments can assist in developing essential skills like self-management, relationship management, and strong interpersonal and intrapersonal qualities. Feedback is essential to the entire process; otherwise, the assessment would be onesided. Have you found any assessment that has shown to be more effective than the others? From what I can see, each depends upon the organizational needs, and I can see how a combination would be more effective in some cases.
