A new online service from Appraisal360 allows employees to get feedback from their colleagues about their performance. I can help both with development, confidence building and dealing with bosses who won't listen and those difficult employees who always have a bad effect on their workmates - but who never seem to get the message.
A new 360 degree feedback system is designed to help workplace harmony by giving individuals structured feedback about their behaviour and attitudes.
The rules for work are changing.
People are being judged differently: not just by how
intelligent they are or by their training and expertise,
but also by how well they handle themselves and each
other.
The new rules predict who is most likely to become a
star performer in their field of work and are crucial to
their marketability for future jobs.
These rules have little to do with what we were told was
important in school: academic abilities are largely
irrelevant to this new standard. The new measure:
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) takes for granted having
enough intellectual ability to do our jobs.

Most bosses and employees hate
annual reviews. But everyone does them. These tense and
defensive encounters: dressed up as performance
evaluations are used to justify compensation decisions
and promotions or terminations.First, replace the
traditional model with continuous, 360-degree, more
accurate reviews. This kind of appraisal gives the
employee a full-circle view of how he's perceived, by
gathering performance reviews from supervisors,
subordinates, peers and sometimes even customers or
clients. All comments are strictly anonymous and reviews
can be done on a regular basis or following special
projects.
