Panoramic Feedback's Comparative Reports Increase Motivation Through 360-Degree Feedback

A new 360-degree feedback report from Panoramic Feedback shows participants how their ratings compare with colleagues. Comparative data helps them establish personal development goals that will increase their value to their organization.

Toronto, (PRWEB) January 18, 2006 - A new 360-degree feedback report from Panoramic Feedback increases motivation by comparing participants' ratings with those of their colleagues. This extra dimension helps them choose realistic development goals.

"If your feedback average is 7 out of 10, you might be tempted to see it as acceptable," said Panoramic Feedback CEO Esther Kohn-Bentley. "But when your report informs you that your colleagues averaged 9, it's clear you should develop better skills to be eligible for promotion and increased compensation."

The comparative reports, which are optional, can be adjusted to provide comparisons with high achievers only, instead of the entire group. For instance, participants could see how their ratings compared with those in the top 20 percent.

360-Degree Feedback Points Out Skills Gaps
A Gap Report is an easy-to-read summary of the areas most in need of improvement relative to colleagues.

"If most of your peers are seen as better team-players, for instance, it tells you that you can increase your value to the organization by improving your listening skills, sharing information, and actively contributing to the team's success." said Esther Kohn-Bentley.

"Those could be your stretch goals for the year. That's how your 360-degree feedback report can set the stage for improved performance and recognition within the organization."
