Benefits of Calibra’s 360 Degree Feedback

Listed below are the top five distinguishing features and benefits of Calibra’s 360 degree feedback. Calibra’s 360 degree feedback was developed by human resource practitioners specifically to meet their clients’ needs (e.g., increased flexibility and customization options, easy to read and interpret reports).

Feature:

Dual Scale Difference™—rating system which reports current and desired/needed frequencies of behaviors for each rater group. Generates a gap analysis that quickly shows strengths and areas needing improvement specific to the job.

Benefit:

  • Flexible position-specific feedback
  • Identification of gaps between current and needed behaviors so action steps can be taken
  • Priority-ranking of competencies shows where to focus the development efforts

Result:

  • Accurate 360 feedback that is job specific, relevant and actionable

Feature:

Online Development Tips and Resources—Library of development tips, books and other resources are linked to the online report for ease in going from data about a competency gap to assistance in determining what to do about it.

Benefit:

  • Links competencies to action ideas and resources (e.g., action plan ideas, articles, books, internal training classes); a planning guide lets the leader easily see the next steps to moving forward
  • Resource library can be customized to include an organization’s internal or external training resources, action ideas, etc.

Result:

  • Actionable plans

Feature:

Easy-to-Read Online Reports—data is presented in multiple formats—bar graphs, tables, spider charts, open-ended comments; strengths and improvements areas are highlighted; aggregate reports are available (e.g., by level, team, etc.) Reports can be customized (i.e., can load an organization’s competency model) and can include logo, language, etc. to adapt the look and feel.

Benefit:

  • Results are automatically compiled and presented to make interpretation easy
  • Larger gaps are clearly highlighted; strengths are identified; development priorities are identified to make it easier to create action plans
  • Strengths and development needs of the group are identified in the aggregate report which helps guide overall/team efforts

Result:

  • Clear results
  • Year to year comparisons
  • Customized leadership team reports (aggregate reports)

Feature:

Online Development Plan—Calibra's online development plan allows participants to highlight strengths, development needs, goals, resources needed, etc.  The plan can be emailed to a coach, mentor, or the participant’s boss.

Benefit:

  • Participants can directly email their plans to their managers, coach, etc.
  • Creates buy-in and accountability for the participant.

Result:

  • Creates a consistent process
  • Creates a clear direction for participants

Feature:

Personal Webpage—participants and raters get a personal webpage that organizes all of their survey steps and includes links to all of the surveys they need to complete. Rater notification and reminders are also handled here.      

Benefit:

  • Organizes all participants’ surveys and raters needing to complete assessments in one place, saving the user time and increasing participation rates and results
  • Survey “To-Do” list and instructions eliminate confusion and reduce training support needed

Result:

  • Ease for participants
