Validated 360 Feedback Aids Job Performance


Validated 360 feedback surveys

What is the value of validated 360 feedback surveys?

Validated 360 surveys measure behaviors that meet the following criteria:

The behaviors are observable.
The behaviors can be trained.
The behaviors do not overlap.

They are based on skills that research has shown are correlated with actual job performance. This approach also provides a hierarchy of skills, which helps feedback recipients prioritize their training. Again, the hierarchy is based on research about which skills impact performance the most.

In the case of the Clark Wilson Group'sTask Cycle® Surveysthe research has been ongoing for 30 years and involves, at this point, millions of cases. More about research.
