Many people express anxiety when it comes to delivering & receiving annual performance reviews.
Performance reviews can be overly subjective, especially when:
-Goals are unclear or difficult to measure
-There is inconsistent application in performance criteria across employees / over time
-Evaluators lack training & practice delivering feedback
-Unconscious bias is present that influences evaluator’s assessments
A better approach involves utilizing 360-degree feedback, which is a great tool for evaluating leaders. This process includes an individual’s self-assessment & obtains more well-rounded feedback from their supervisor, direct reports, peers & customers.
Wiley (the company that developed the DiSC assessment) has another side of its business called PXT Select that offers assessments used in hiring & coaching. PXT Select’s CheckPoint 360™ is used to help managers identify & prioritize their own development opportunities & leadership skills. It is also used to surface management issues that could lead to low employee productivity, morale, satisfaction & turnover. A personalized program for developing specific leadership skills is created based on the feedback received. Free form comments can also be enabled.
CheckPoint 360°™ measures 8 universal management competencies:
-Communication
