360 assessment

You can request 360 assessments for individuals or groups. Our 360 is designed for leadership development and covers 24 key competencies categorized into the areas of interpersonal, situational, and strategic leadership. In addition to rating themselves, the subjects of the assessments can be rated by their manager, peers, customers, and direct reports. 

It is a developmental tool that provides personalized feedback to help employees grow in their roles. Only the individual being assessed receives the report, which includes meaningful written comments and a guided debrief session to support their development planning. The assessment is available to anyone interested in using it for professional growth and costs $360 per person, including the report and debrief.
