OVERVIEW
360 assessments are now commonplace within organisations. They are frequently used to help individuals see how others in their organisation view their competence across a range of areas. The 360 methodology is an excellent way to help uncover hidden development areas and also drive individuals to improve where their self-perceptions differ significantly from the observations of key stakeholders.
Typically, with a 360, an individual's behaviour and competence is assessed by themselves and rated by their:
- Line Manager
- Peers
- Line Reports
In most cases, the people who rate the competencies combine their assessments to give an overall rating of competence to maintain anonymity.
These results are then compared to the individual's own ratings to reveal blind spots and help increase the individual's awareness of how they demonstrate competence to others. This can often result in surprises for individuals who were unaware of how their behaviour impacted on others, which can have a powerful and positive effect on personal development.
HOW ABA 360 WORKS
Designed by science for business, the competence framework in ABA 360 is based on typical frameworks used in organisations across industry. As a result, it is very easy to map your own competencies to ABA360 if required and quickly measure competence potential in your organisation.
The ABA360 assessment measures 9 key competencies:
- Communicating, Meeting and Presenting
- Planning and Organising
- Problem Solving
- Working with Others
- Leading Others
- Innovating and Creating
- Coping with Pressure
- Driving for Results
- Working with Customers
Designed to be intuitively easy to use, set up and administer, ABA 360 features reports produced with excellent clarity, in a structure and language designed with the user in mind, making it practical and easy to implement.
CUSTOMISED TO YOUR ORGANISATION
With varying levels of customisation available, ABA360 can easily be adapted to your people, organisation or industry.
At the most basic level we can integrate your own competencies and frameworks to suit your organisation, or we can go further with more advanced customisation, allowing you to change the look of the reports to suit your company branding.
ABA 360 also allows you to:
- Maintain full control over raters, downloads, edits and comments
- Maintain anonymity with small assessment numbers by collapsing ratings from managers, peers and reports into a single category
- Add free text against each competency for greater detail, and to make this compulsory if required
- Give users the power to control the process themselves, nominating and chasing their raters to reduce the administrative load.
