Appraisal360

Sometimes we find ourselves trapped in a single way of thinking, and forget to try to see things from other perspectives. This is, in my mind, never a good thing. It limits what one can do. I find it especially troubling in any endeavor toward effective communication between people. It can be very harmful in homes, schools, or work places. Really, it can be harmful in any relationship between two people.

That's what impresses me about 360 degree feedback. It is a management tool that allows employers to move away from tunnel vision when evaluating their employees. The Appraisal360 system has the evaluator gather information not just from the one being evaluated, but from 5 others who work closely with him or her. This means that the feeback, when put together, comes not just from one perspective, but from a more well-rounded view.

This is a very valuable resource for HR departments, managers, supervisors... anyone who needs to evaluate other workers. Many personal coaches are also finding it a particularly useful tool.

Stop by the site and have a look. It is a tool that can be of real help in more effective communication in the work place.
