As leaders in the organization, we must all do our part to develop both the managers of today and those who will take on this important responsibility in the future. A multi-rater assessment, also known as 360 degree feedback, is a great place to start a formal development process for your supervisors and managers. Multi-rater survey instruments are designed to give feed back from a variety of perspectives, such as that of the participant's supervisors, peers, and direct reports on skills and attitudes that are critical to the success of any manager. In addition to providing valuable feedback, the assessment process also identifies the strengths and developmental needs of the participant. A fee is charged on a per person basis to cover the costs of purchasing the survey instrument and tabulating the results.
Charges vary depending on the number of participants and the instrument selected for the assessment.
