Reasons To Automate Your 360

360-degree feedback automation reduces your burden and makes the entire process more effective.

Flexibility: Mid-process changes can be made easily at less cost. Because the costs of printing and distributing are virtually eliminated, you can make changes and corrections without disrupting the entire system. Communicating with participants mid-process is now painless and effective.

Efficiency: Automation means no paper surveys to track down. Data is automatically entered into the system without having to input information manually. Errors are reduced if not eliminated. Confidentiality is improved since only administrators have access to the data. Survey status information is always available. Data processing and report generation delay is reduced.

Cost: By eliminating the need for human data entry or paper collection, costs are reduced even as efficiency increases. Printing costs are practically eliminated. Survey automation is amazingly cost effective.

Accuracy: Assessment automation increases accuracy. Paper surveys are too easily misplaced or lost. Hand-entered data has an innate propensity for error. Automation reduces the potential for human error and increases the speed at which data can be collected and processed. All responses will be entered as they are received.

Ease of administration: 360 survey automation allows you to reach all of your participants. Administrators can check online any time to see how the 360 process is progressing. Without paper surveys to track down, you can easily remind those who have not yet submitted survey without compromising confidentiality. Administrators can easily send mid-process reminders or make minor mid-process changes without disrupting the process. Online admin tools means administrators are always informed.

Options for participants: Even in today’s world, not everyone is comfortable with Internet and computer technologies. Automation allows participants to take their 360 survey by phone or over the Internet. You can offer an accessible 360-degree feedback survey without resorting to paper surveys. Participants have the option to use most convenient medium for them. They can even start the survey in one format and finish in another. Survey results are best when the response rate is high. Reducing barriers to participation means more responses and more complete results.> Back to top
