A recent trend in client requests to us is for a variety of report formats within the 360 degree appraisal report.
Within one report we are being asked more often to include tabulations, statistical analysis, bar charts, and pie charts.
It strikes me that some reports are becoming committee driven. In our recommended process for 360 feedback we often recommend starting with the report as working backwards. What is it that we want to show to the recipient of feedback - what is it that will offer them the best chance of understanding the feedback they have been given.
The danger is that we try and offer very route for the feedback - a graph for those who like pictures, percentages for the statisticians, and a composite report for those who like to see the whole picture.
As ever, each individual client request has sensible merits and we deliver to that request. But as a trend for all of our clients we would encourage that "less is more" in 360 feedback reports.
