What is 360?

A 360-degree survey is an assessment process that collects performance data from people that work with and around you. Questionnaires are sent to peers, direct reports, your manager and others that are familiar with your management or leadership style. They respond to questions about your performance in specific management areas.

Feedback on your performance is anonymously sent back to KerrHill where all the data is compiled into a comprehensive report. A KerrHill consultant assesses the data and uses the feedback to help create a strategy for personal or professional development in areas that may need improvement. Strengths are also evaluated.

What is a 360 used for?

360's can be utilized for:

  • Coaching
  • Custom Training solutions
  • Public workshop courses
  • Performance reviews
  • Succession Planning
  • New Job Assignment Programs

What do you do with the data?

The inherent value of our 360's lies in the analysis, interpretation, and delivery of the data to the participant for use in training and development. KerrHill consultants are experts at reviewing, analyzing, and extracting key strengths and areas for improvement an individual needs to focus on. This can be done one-on-one in a personal coaching session or in a group setting.

Utilizing 360’s in Training and Development

Information gathered and assessed from 360's can be used to identify an individual's performance compared to company norms or performance standards, which can then be used for developing and delivering specific training. This can be accomplished at the individual or group level. For larger group training needs, assessing the aggregate data from all 360's would provide our consultant with a broader scope of data which would then provide you, our client, with specific or general training recommendations.

Who sees 360 results?

No one but KerrHill consultants and you. Another benefit to utilizing KerrHill for a 360 program is confidentiality. At times, 360 participants have concerns about who sees the feedback within their organization. As a third party provider, we assure the confidentiality of the feedback remains between KerrHill and the participant. Revealing 360 feedback data to others in an organization is entirely up the participant.

The FIRO-B Assessment Tool

The FIRO-B assessment tool has been used by KerrHill for years in its training and development programs. It is a personality instrument that measures how you typically behave with other people and how you expect them to act towards you.

Interpreting and understanding your FIRO-B results can dramatically increase your behavioral awareness in the following areas:

  • How you come across to others and why this may not be the way you see yourself or the impression you want to make.
  • How and why conflict develops between well-meaning people.
  • How to understand your own needs and how to manage them as you interact with others.

The FIRO-B instrument measures three areas:

Inclusion – This need indicates how much you generally include other people in your life and how much attention, contact and recognition you want from others.

Control – This need indicates how much influence and responsibility you want and how much you want others to lead and influence you.

Affection – This need indicates how close and warm you are with others and how close and warm you want others to be with you. And the two dimensions of each area are:

Expressed – Indicating how much you prefer to initiate the behavior. It is about what you actually do and can be easily observed by others.

Wanted – The dimension to which you prefer others to initiate a behavior towards you. It is about what you really want from others and whether or not you show it openly.
