360 degree feedback can be a motivating and satisfying experience where both the individual and their organisation benefit. It is much more than a knee jerk reaction to revalidation. A well run 360 feedback is easy, clear, relevant and properly managed and it creates a genuine opportunity for improved self-awareness, individual growth and improved organisational leadership.
Unlike a psychometric, 360 feedback is drawn from a combination of the views and feeling of those you work with day in day out, your professional peers, those who report to you and your line manager. This is incredibly powerful and difficult to ignore.
Yet finding the time and capacity to carry out 360 feedback properly can be a real challenge, patient and service priorities, as well as daily fire-fighting, can leave little time for other activities. At Health Service 360 we know this and have created a flexible 360 feedback system where you choose how much help and support you need. Our team is headed up by people who have worked in and with the NHS and international healthcare sectors for over 20 years. We understand the culture, the pressures and the constraints.
