A 360 gets its name from looking 360 degrees “around” an employee. 360 reviews capture a complete view of an employee's performance by including feedback from peers, managers, subordinates, and a self-assessment. The structure supports efforts to create a holistic snapshot of an employee's behavior and performance pattern, thereby bridging evaluation gaps that otherwise exist with traditional performance review methods. In traditional performance reviews, feedback provided only by a direct manager and only relative to performance against goals misses critical context around an employees working relationships, behavior, communication, and more.
Roster has taken that concept and integrated it into a powerful platform. Roster’s tool is designed to facilitate comprehensive feedback that is scalable, confidential, and reliable. Beyond feedback collection, Roster provides an ability to analyze and interact with the data collected in a seamless manner. Easy-to-interpret data presentation, interactive reports, and custom-generated insights help subjects find immediate clarity. Roster reports are quick-to-results with development themes and recommended action items, so your employees can get to their development as quickly as the company is growing. As a company rolls out Roster 360s at scale, Roster also generates team insights, highlighting the collective strengths and development areas across an organization.
The beauty of a Roster 360 review lies in its structure. Feedback is sourced from a diverse set of participants - peers, managers, subordinates, and a self-evaluation. Feedback is also anonymized and undergoes multiple levels of confidential review, assuring unbiased and candid feedback.
Unique to Roster, participants are presented with a proprietary and research-backed question set. Unlike 360 reviews that capture only qualitative feedback, Roster’s standard question set ensures all participants are provided feedback on consistent areas of consideration, with qualitative feedback as an additional supplement. Roster’s well-established question set also allows for benchmarking comparisons which can be segmented by role, industry, level, company, or investment firm.
Roster-facilitated debrief services add a valuable personal touch. A Roster 360 report is straightforward and easy-to-interpret even without a debrief, and the addition of services provides a facilitated bridged between feedback, understanding, and action. Roster offers live discussions led by experienced coaches to ensure the feedback is understood and transformed into actionable steps upon report delivery. With debrief services, the 360 report transforms into a more intimate development experience.
When organizations decide to roll-out 360 reviews, the choice of software solution becomes paramount. At a minimum, an ideal tool offers scalability, easy set-up, and exceptional support. Best in class 360 partners should also provide expertise and recommendations on how to structure an ideal 360 to ensure employees and teams realize the full value of the process, rather than leaving HR leaders and managers on their own guessing what questions they should ask, who they should include as participants, and how they should deliver results at the end of the process. It is crucial to invest time in research and seek a live demo to ensure the software and services match your unique needs.
