WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF 360 FEEDBACK?

Broader Scope of Feedback: Feedback is received from all key stakeholders, not just a supervisor, providing a well-rounded view of how others perceive a participant's efforts.Fair Feedback: The 360 process is conducted in a confidential setting so raters can provide accurate and honest feedback. If there are only a few rater surveys, the results are combined in order to obscure rater identity.Self-Awareness: 360 degree feedback results are presented in a complete report that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of a participant's skills in a given set of competencies. The results give the participant a clear and accurate picture of their performance that could not be seen otherwise.Self-Development: Getting a clear picture of performance helps identify weaknesses that need to be improved as well as strengths that can be leveraged. Knowing the skills that need improvement is the first step toward creating a plan of development for the short and long term.Reduces Turnover & Cost: 360 degree feedback facilitates an environment that encourages self-development, which leads to job satisfaction. This minimizes turnover and the costs associated with replacing employees. Estimates of turnover cost range from 25% to 200% of an employee's annual salary. To put this in perspective, if the average salary of an employee in a given company is $50,000 per year, then the cost of turnover at 75% of that salary is $37,500 for each employee that leaves the company. For the mid-sized company of 1,000 employees with a 10% annual rate of turnover, the annual cost of turnover could be $3.75 million!

The Booth Company Launches New Site and Branding Campaign (06.06.02)
The Booth Company, a leading provider of The Clark Wilson surveys, unveiled its newly redesigned web site and branding campaign. The site showcases the unique 15 role specific surveys and support materials The Booth Company offers its clients. In addition, the site showcases The Booth Company's new identity consisting of a new logo and branded "look & feel".

In order for The Booth Company to be a stronger online presence, in the assessment arena, a new and original approach was necessary for the company's identity and website. According to Design Director, Kurt Blazek, "We wanted to develop an identity and website that would not only represent what we do as a company, but would also be a visual representation of our pursuit for quality products and services." The Booth Company developed the new site utilizing user centric design principles to create an experience that is informative and an interface that is easy-to-use. The new site was redesigned from the ground up with clients in mind, starting with the information architecture, navigational structures, and the site's branded "look & feel" pulled from the newly designed logo.

"It was exciting to work on and see the new approach evolve to what we have today. We always look forward to serving our potential and existing clients with quality tools." said Daniel J. Booth, CEO of The Booth Company.
