September 5, 2012 (Powerhomebiz.com) Track Surveys, a leading UK provider of performance related programmes, comments on the many benefits of 360 degree feedback.
According to a recent survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to retain their most valuable employees despite high employment levels and fewer vacancies. 66% of the organisations surveyed reported that they have experienced difficulties retaining staff in 2011/2012. Keeping employees is critical in order for companies to survive through the double dip recession; otherwise, they will be forced to pay recruitment costs and will lose expert knowledge and productivity.
In order for companies to retain their staff, they need to offer increased learning and development opportunities, as well as improving line managers’ people skills to create a more enjoyable yet professional environment. These changes can be designed and run with minimal cost; however, robust systems need to be implemented to ensure that people at different professional levels recognise the key skills an organisation needs to succeed. Employees should also be aware of how effectively they are performing in their role and the training they need to improve.
Jo Ayoubi, Managing Director of Track Surveys Ltd, commented: “Every organisation needs to ensure they have a robust, effective and completely tailored 360 degree feedback framework that consistently provides data on skills, performance and talent development. 360 degree feedback systems will present individuals with critical yet constructive feedback to immediately improve their performance, as well as help a company to identify the training and development needs in critical groups of staff and managers. As a result, companies will be able to focus their efforts and training budgets to get the right people in the right role at the right time.”
