    Uses of 360 Feedback
    360 feedback is used as a development or appraisal tool, the majority used in personal and professional development, as part of a training programme. Participants undertake a 360 feedback exercise to highlight their areas of strength and discover areas for development. They can then work on these, either by embarking on a training programme, engaging a coach or setting personal objectives. After a period of focussing on their development, the participant can undertake a second 360 feedback to check progress.

    Why 360 feedback?
    x` 360 feedback gives us a fully rounded view of a person’s performance. It is not just from one person, the line manager, but encompasses the feedback of those the participant works closely with on a day to day basis. This variety of viewpoints provides a comprehensive assessment of performance, not skewed by personal bias, and covering all aspects of the participant’s work.

    About Personality Profiling
    Personality profiling has been around for a long time. From Hippocrates in ancient Greece to Carl Jung in the 1920’s and more recently the Myers-Briggs Type indicator. The key element that links all of these is understanding.

    The i-comment360 Persona Personality Profile aims to help individuals understand themselves and their behaviour, how they come across in daily life and interactions. Beyond this, an understanding of personality helps people understand others and why they behave in the way they do. This understanding allows individuals to improve interactions by adapting their behaviour.

    The Persona questionnaire is not a “test” and there are no right or wrong answers, just as there are no good or bad personalities. Some personalities may be better suited to particular tasks compared to others, but we all have the power to adapt our behaviour to each situation we face. An understanding of personality helps us to do this.

    How the Persona Profile works
    The Persona Profile look at four elements of personality; Introversion, Extraversion, Thinking and Feeling. These four can be easily and reliably measured, and are recognisable in everyday life by individuals, not just by experts.

    The Persona Personality profile uses colour to describe combinations of these elements of personality. This gives us an accessible and understandable model to describe personality in simple terms, making it memorable and easy for everyone to use.

    Red an Extraverted Thinking preference Yellow is an Extraverted Feeling preference Green is an Introverted Feeling preference Blue is an Introverted Thinking preference Nobody is absolutely all one colour. We are all a blend of all four colours, but it is how these colours interact that makes us who we are.

    We have two standard surveys ready to launch to your teams:

    Employee Engagement Survey
    This is designed as an organisation wide survey, gathering views from all departments and all levels of the company.

    Team Check-in Survey

It helps identify the team’s strengths and areas for development, as well as highlighting any areas where frictions may affect team performance. It is a great basis for team building and improving team performance, helping the team to function to the best of its ability.
