ARTICLE:
On the web and 360 degree reviews can be significant instruments. They join information from
an extent of partners, routinely light up an authority's helpless sides and support the
individual's headway. Keeping the genuine targets from the subject, respondents and a mentor

on subjects to comprehend the seriousness of the circumstance. Regardless, the mechanical
assemblies are simply convincing if the analysis is kept private, respondents are encouraged to

gatherings drove by an outside guide i.e mentor , these zones require exceptional thought. They
give colleagues an approach to say something regarding person's improvement. While

WHAT IS 360 DEGREE FEEDBACKS?
360 Degree Feedback is a system or process in which employees receive confidential,
anonymous feedback from the people who work around them. This typically includes the
employee's manager, peers, and direct reports. A mixture of about eight to twelve people fill
out an anonymous online feedback form that asks questions covering a broad range of
workplace competencies. The feedback forms include questions that are measured on a rating
scale and also ask raters to provide written comments. The person receiving feedback also fills
out a self-rating survey that includes the same survey questions that others receive in their
forms.
Managers and leaders within organizations use 360 feedback surveys to get a better
understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. The 360 feedback system automatically
tabulates the results and presents those in a format that helps the feedback recipient create a
development plan. Individual responses are always combined with responses from other people
in the same rater category (e.g. peer, direct report) in order to preserve anonymity and to give
the employee a clear picture of his/her greatest overall strengths and weaknesses.
Individuals who are picked as raters or input suppliers are frequently chosen in a common
procedure by both the association and the worker. These are individuals who for the most part
connect routinely with the individual who is accepting input.
The purpose of the 360-degree feedback is to assist each individual to understand their
strengths and weaknesses and to contribute insights into aspects of their work needing
professional development. Debates of all kinds are raging in the world of organizations about
how to:
Organizations that are happy with the 360-degree feedback component of their performance
management systems identify these positive features of the process that manifest in a well-
managed, well-integrated 360-degree feedback processes.
We prepared couple of questions based upon our theoretical concepts that we studied in class
along with the article and our topic was 360-Degree review
QUESTION#1
WHO ARE YOUR COMPETITORS? WHAT GIVES THIS ORGANIZATION A COMPETITIVE EDGE?
Sir Sabir answered we are essentially a project based company and our clients are from
UK,USA, Italy and we additionally have local projects in Pakistan, as we are IT organization and
on the off chance that we talk about our global competitors, we have India, Bangladesh and
Singapore, discussing competitive edge our quality, on time delivery and commitment.
QUESTION#2
WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD DO OTHER THAN SWOT ANALYSIS FOR
ASSESSING ITS COMPANY?
He replied our planning, which means road map for whatever we are planning to do. On the off
chance that you think you are on your consistent level, then you are able to launch your own
product, when you have team strength and technology strength and then you survey which
thing is of high demand.
QUESTION#3
QUESTION#4
Mr Sabir replied candidates attempt to display a more extensive picture; they attempt to satisfy
the interviewer by telling the skills they don’t possess. Candidates pretend that they're familiar
with software and when they're assigned a task they're unable to produce outcomes.
Expectations are set but later those expectations aren't met because of wrong articulations of
applicants. An exhortation is never attempt to pretend something you're not on the grounds
because that is the problematic part. Always show others what you are really, maybe the
organization is looking for an individual you really are.
QUESTION#5
In the event that an individual is adaptable and versatile he can accomplish achievements.
Likewise, being punctual and being a cooperative person is essential and it goes as a quality.
Realizing what to do and how to do isn't a quality. Everybody has skills and abilities. A reliable
individual can be an asset of the organization. Also, if an individual can change himself as
indicated by nature and circumstances he can do anything by only a little exertion.
QUESTION#6
QUESTION#7
Organization tries to identify the gaps and recognize the loopholes. The organization motivates
and helps the representatives by counseling. We offer open doors for career growth. We give
learning opportunities. We always encourage our workers so that will lead towards
accomplishment of goals of our organization rather than de motivating the representatives.
Employees are the representatives of an organization. The problematic part is that we set high
expectations and ignore the fact that every individual has distinctive potential and abilities. It is
a workmanship to discover the quality and ability of a representative.
QUESTION#9
We are humans, not the perfectionist and human error do exists. We shouldn't treat our
representatives like robots. Every organization comprises of SWOT analysis. Similarly people
have their strengths and weaknesses. The basic part is to act naturally mindful, present the
genuine you before others rather than presenting any other person. Mindfulness is a key factor,
this can lead towards progress. Likewise, one should be self-motivated, such individuals rise
above adversity.
QUESTION#10
It isn't right to pass judgment on an individual on performing multiple tasks, only on the basis
that an individual may be great at one task however not at the other. Always recommend
“mentor", he who has a mentor is an honored one. Stick to the objectives, be reliable and figure
out how to manage time. These things will pay off throughout life.
QUESTION#11
According to Sir Sabir straightforwardness is an essential quality a leader must have. A leader
must be the person who can empathize others. He should be passionate. Also, he should have
basic leadership capabilities like decision making capability. A good leader isn't one who
enforces on other yet a good leader is the one who takes each person alongside him.
QUESTION#12
QUESTION#13
QUESTION#14
There is a great deal of transparency in this organization since the management itself is process
oriented and there is no concept of people orientation, further your customer will inform you
concerning your organization since they need to see business and approach towards business
and the representatives work, you get to know how transparent you are by your clients.
QUESTION#15
IF THE FEEDBACK OF YOUR EMPLOYEE IS NOT GOOD, WOULD YOU REACH OUT TO THAT
EMPLOYEE?
Yes, definitely we do reach to that individual with some bad feedback, we have a gauge system
if the feedback is below average, at that point we do a session with that representative to ask
what is the issue, there is an issue of mindset as well, a few people are great in team work
however can't do work alone, and some are solo laborers, each individual has diverse way to
deal with their work, we additionally give our representatives a comfort zone to perform better,
your initial feedback is from the client.
QUESTION#16
AS AN HR MANAGER WHAT ARE THE KEY QUALITIES IN THE PERSON YOU SEE WHILE
HIRING?
Individuals should be completely transparent and honest about themselves. They should not
pretend to be someone they are not. They should be honest and willing to tell about the
quialities or skills they really possess instead of misstating facts.
QUESTION#17
There are different factors, the greatest factor is biasness, ordinarily representatives' grievance
about their work is that they work more than other individual and their appraisal is low, a few
people have attitude issues yet they are 100 percent in their work and a few people are 100
percent in frame of mind yet normal in work so then it shifts.
QUESTION#18
DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION OFFER COLLEGE RECRUITING?
Yes, we do but we only hunt for a talent.
QUESTION#19
HAVE YOU EVER HIRED A WRONG CANDIDATE BY GETTING DECEIVED FROM HIS
IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT AND HOW DID YOU TACKLE THAT?
He replied that yes it happened in past and we tackled it by adjusting the candidate on the
lower position than the existing one.
ARTICLE:
Online and interview-based 360-degree reviews can be extremely valuable tools. They bring
together insights from a range of coworkers, often illuminate an executive’s blind spots, and give
colleagues a way to weigh in on and support the individual’s development.
But these tools are only effective if the feedback is kept confidential, respondents are encouraged
to be candid, and everyone is transparent about the purpose behind the 360. Whether you use an
online survey or in-depth interviews conducted by an outside coach, these areas require special
attention. Here’s why each is important.
Confidentiality
Coworkers can be more honest and direct knowing that their comments won’t be attributable to
them, but many may worry that their responses won’t be kept confidential. With online surveys,
choosing a credible vendor can reassure subjects and respondents that information will not be
accessible to anyone internally. If this is the first time that the company is using the survey, HR
leaders need to make it clear how confidentiality is ensured and guarded.
When 360s are done through in-depth interviews, the coach needs to assure respondents
beforehand that what they say will not be relayed to the subject. When I conduct these types of
interviews, I typically explain that I only give aggregate feedback to the subject and never connect
a respondent’s name to a comment they made. In fact, I take care in making sure none of the
feedback is attributable. Sometimes it helps to reassure respondents that I’m experienced in
dealing with 360 subjects who try — sometimes with great subtlety — to find out which
respondent said what.
Candor
When using online survey vendors, HR needs to make sure the instructions cover how important
it is for respondents to be candid and not worry about wounding subjects’ self-esteem. The
expectation should be that people are direct and open while ensuring their comments are
productive. It’s rare for respondents to be overly critical or inappropriate in their remarks since
comments of those nature can often be attributable to specific people.
With interview-based 360s, coaches should also emphasize the need for candor. In my interviews,
I point out that candid feedback is the only way to really help the company and the individual.
And I assure respondents that I convey feedback to subjects in a way that helps them understand
and digest it without feeling attacked or devalued.
It’s also worth noting that people are generally tougher than we assume — and that even
inaccurate perceptions can be useful if they cause subjects to take a new look at their behaviors.
Most of us can probably remember an occasion when we were wrongly characterized by
someone, and yet, paradoxically, it led to valuable self-reflection.
Transparency
When rolling out a 360, HR and the person’s manager should be transparent with the coach, the
subject, and the respondents about the purpose of the 360. Is it for general development
purposes (say, to establish a baseline for coaching)? Is there a specific performance issue that’s of
concern? If the subject’s job is at stake, both the subject and the coach should be made aware of
it.
Keeping the real objectives from the subject, respondents, and a coach who may be involved can
be counter-productive. If coaches doing the interviewing don’t know what’s at stake, for example,
they may not be able to zero in on crucial performance areas or push subjects to understand the
severity of their situation.
I’ve seen lack of transparency over the purpose of 360s happen more than once. In one instance, I
was involved in conducting a set of 360 interviews for a group of executives at a manufacturing
company. The subjects were told that the 360 was being used to help them learn more about how
they were perceived by their colleagues and get coaching to build on their strengths and address
any limitations. But while the reviews were being conducted, two senior positions opened up and
senior leaders decided to use the 360s to identify the best candidates for promotion from among
the group being reviewed. When the 360s were completed and the new purpose finally came to
light, the subjects felt betrayed, and the senior leaders and HR had to work hard to regain their
trust. I also had some explaining to do when it came to providing feedback to the subjects. Every
one of them challenged me as to whether I had known ahead of time how the 360s would be
used. For subjects and respondents, the shift in purpose cast a cloud over the whole process,
undermining the perception of how valid of the feedback really was.
Using 360s in this way — to make personnel decisions and, intentionally or not, misleading
participants about the purpose — opens the company to legal issues and complaints.
In addition to being transparent from the start, the organization can further reduce the potential
for complaints by ensuring that the process is designed to provide accurate descriptions of how
individuals are perceived by the different groups they interact with. In general, risks can be
minimized by selecting a representative group of respondents, making sure that records are kept
safe, and using trained professionals to provide feedback.
When conducting online 360s, there are two additional issues to consider.
Customization
Many online 360s can be customized. The main reason to do so is to reflect the company’s
language and its vision, mission, and valued competencies. Special circumstances may also
require customized surveys — for example, if the organization has merged with another company,
there may be questions concerning how the executive relates to executives within the new entity.
If having an online survey customized to suit the organization or individual is important, HR will
need to choose the right vendor. Many offer limited or no customization — or offer it at an extra
cost. Others will build survey questions from scratch.
While customization is always beneficial, companies do have to consider the cost. Changing any
element of an online survey, such as merging two of the survey’s standard competencies into one
or splitting one standard competency into two, is not as simple as it seems. Any altered
competencies will necessitate additional steps so that responses can be reliably compared to the
survey’s established norms.
Follow up
Some online survey programs simply produce a summary report but 360s should never be
delivered in a vacuum. Without context and support, the subject may not be able to make use of
the feedback and, therefore, question the value of the process. Further, when respondents don’t
see anything change as a result of their participation in the survey, future respondents may regard
the surveys as a waste of time, leading them to resist filling them out or to give only perfunctory
responses. At a minimum, the subject should have a conversation with someone who is skilled in
the interpretation of the results and can help them develop an action plan.
No assessment process is perfect, but when 360s are thoughtfully implemented, they provide
valuable insights and a reliable baseline for leadership development, delivering feedback to
executives that are otherwise hard to come by.
ANALYSIS:
After asking couple of questions from them we analyzed the following points.
7. Diversity is admired.
10. From comfort to learning, there's a procedure of defeating fears and defining objectives,
step out of your comfort shell and achieve big.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Employee retention is a greater challenge by IT companies specially the startups which
get high stakes after a key worker quits. They should focus on retaining their employees.
INNSOVATION: We challenge the regular thoughts and produce proficient results. Our
groups work in an empowering domain continually endeavoring. Innovation
distinguishes between a leader and a follower
TEAM WORK: Our team has commitment towards reaching at shared objectives. With
mutual help and genuine correspondence we have accomplished milestones.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Our customers are enormously esteemed. We work to convey the
best and fulfill client needs by taking exacting measures and acting instantly to input.
