Product Line: 360 Degree Feedback

Now, request Feedback Seekers for their additional dimensional data for Group Analytics Dashboard!

Until now, survey admin was required to upload an excel with the additional data for all Feedback Seekers so that their Group Analytics dashboard could be created for any survey. However, as it is a tedious job for survey admins to collect and collate such enormous data, especially when surveys are of large scale.

Below are the details –

By using this setting on the Finalize step of survey creation, survey admins can define the additional data to be requested from the Feedback Seekers:

 

Here, the dimension names and the respective values are created for the Feedback Seekers to choose from:

 

After the survey is launched, this setting can be enabled from here on the survey running page:

 

After the Feedback Seekers click on the below button for ‘Give Feedback’, we request them for the additional data:

 

This is the pop-up with the field names and dropdown values shown on the basis of the configuration done by the survey admin:

Now remove certain relationships (legends) from the Spider Chart!

For any survey, the Spider Chart created for competency analysis always showed all the relationships that were part of the survey, along with the Self, Other & Benchmark. By using this new setting in Report Setup, certain legends can be removed from the Spider Chart. This was requested to us by Mercer consultants.

Below is a setting to enable this:

Now create 270 degree surveys with no requirement of Self feedbacks!

We have now launched a new functionality using which, the need of Self-feedback can be removed from surveys. For such surveys, survey is launched without the need for Feedback Seekers to provide their own feedbacks. Reports get generated on the basis of feedback shared by all others and the reports also have no mention of feedback from Feedback Seekers themselves.

The setting for this can be enabled on the Finalize step, right before launching a survey. Invitation and reminder emails will also not be sent to Feedback Seekers for self-survey.

Now you can exclude Self Ratings from all average ratings calculated in the report! 

Once this setting is applied, all the average competency ratings would be shown on the basis of ‘Others’ Ratings only i.e. Self scores would be removed from all the below sections. All report sections that will get impacted once this setting is enabled for a survey are given below:   

1. Competency Summary  
2. Detailed Feedback  
3. Top Strengths & Top Areas of Improvement (new report section introduced below) 
4. Personal Development Plan  
5. Benchmark 

The section for Johari Window will still appear with all statements being shown with Self score included as Self Rating is mandatory to create the 4 Quadrants i.e. Strengths, Areas of Improvement, Hidden Strengths and Blind Spots.  

Below is the setting in Report Setup from where this setting can be accessed. By default, this is switched OFF. 

Stay tuned for more amazing updates coming your way.

Now you can get Top Strengths & Top Areas of Improvement also as a method of survey ratings interpretation! 

Apart from Johari window, this feature can also be used for classifying report statements. For any survey, all the statements (questions) asked in the survey are arranged in ascending order of the average score received for the statements from all survey participants.  

Below is where this section appears in the Report Configuration under Report Setup tab. Clicking on this takes the survey admin to the setting.  

 

As highlighted in blue below, all statements above a specific threshold (set at 50% by default) are classified as Top Strengths and all statements below the threshold are classified as Top Areas of Improvement. However, if you need to mandatorily show some statements as Top Strengths & Top Areas of Improvement then you can choose to switch the toggle off in that case.  

The maximum count of statements to be shown in each section can be defined by the setting highlighted in brown. This is set to 5 by default and can go up to 10 statements.  

Below this is the area where custom heading and description can be set for this new section of the report.

The Real-time automated Group Reports dashboard is now Live on the 360View platform.

A new tab for ‘Analytics’ has now been introduced on 360View.

For every survey, after the survey admin provides more data for each Feedback Seeker (also known as dimensions), we show various analysis basis this dimensional data shared. Dimensions such as Location, Experience Range, Department, Business Unit, Band Level etc. can be added for Group Analytics Dashboard.

On the basis of the dimensional data added for each Feedback Seeker, filters are provided (as highlighted in green in the screenshot below) that can be used for slicing and dicing of data. This helps in seeing the Group Reports data on various cuts for better understanding of the survey output.

We will be rolling out the complete support for Group Reports in multiple phases. As part of Phase 1, the below Dashboard has been added.

 

Let’s breakdown each section of the Dashboard for a better understanding. The below highlighted ‘Filter’ options appear automatically on the basis of the uploaded data for Seeker’s Dimensions. All the data shown on this Dashboard can be sliced and diced using these filter options.

 

Average Competency Ratings:

This graph gives a summary of average ratings received for each competency in the survey. The are in ascending order of the Ratings received for the survey. Highest rated competencies appear on the left and the lowest rated ones appear towards the right.

 

Self vs Others – Group Mean Score Comparison:

The below Spider Chart represents how the ratings appear in comparison between Self and all Other relationships that were a part of the survey.

 

Quadrant Rating Analysis:

On the basis of the Spiderchart shown above, a comparison between the ratings received by Self vs Others is plotted on a graph. This highlights which competency can be classified as Strengths, Areas of Improvement, Hidden Strengths and Blind Spots for the entire list of Feedback Seekers in the survey.

 

Feedback Word Cloud:

Basis the response received in the Open-ended Feedback questions, we create a word cloud to highlight which words were used the most for sharing feedback for the Feedback Seeker. The Top Positive words and Top Negative words are also shown to understand the underlying sentiment shared in the Open-ended Feedback questions.

 

Role Wise Group Mean Score:

These bar graphs below give a detailed analysis of the average ratings received for each competency in the survey. This is classified by each relationship that was a part of this survey. This further helps in identifying relationship based patterns in the ratings received.

 

To add this additional data for Seeker’s dimensions, go to this new tab for ‘Analytics’ on the survey running page.

W.r.t. the markings 1 and 2 shown in the image above:

1 – Download the excel template for sharing the dimensions data using this option.

2 – Upload the excel template from here where the dimensions data has been filled in. Any error in the file would be highlighted in the respective cell with an error message. This helps you to quickly correct/standardize your data and upload it to be able to see the Dashboard.

 

What’s next: We will be rolling out Group reports in phases when we are able to plan this in a release.

Phase 2: Feedback Seekers would be required to share their own dimensions’ data basis which Group Analytics could be shown.

Phase 3: PDF Group Reports would be made available for each survey.

Phase 4: Customization options for PDF Group Reports would be provided.

For self-nomination surveys, the survey admin can now choose which relationships they want to make a part of the survey for the Seekers to nominate from. Not just this, admins can now define the minimum and maximum criteria for each relationship such that the Seekers nominate their feedback providers while full filling the given criteria. This helps in keeping the reports unbiased and anonymous. 

Setting on survey creation page:

Before survey is launched, select the checkbox highlighted in green to customize relationships to be used for Self-nomination surveys. This opens the side panel highlighted in red to customize relationships. 

 

Setting on survey running page:

After survey is launched, this setting can be accessed from Survey Settings.

You may type some generic information/analysis into a new page. You can also personalize each Seeker’s reports by writing some custom text after printing these reports.

In fact, 2 custom pages can also be inserted into any individual report now. This is a survey level setting available under report configuration.
