Our Research: Criteria should be focused on both core and
developmental competencies. However, companies may
differ on how they put this into practice.
@ Ziptrek: Various technology is used to come up with a
predetermined set of competencies for each position.
Competencies are then rated on a scale to ease evaluation
process.
@ Mosaic: Focuses on competencies that are shared amongst
each department.

employees once the results are gathered

prepare for the feedback conversation.

Our Research: Use the 360 for other purposes (e.g.
diagnostic of organizational climate, developing training
programs for employees, leadership tool, etc.)
@ Ziptrek: Consistently update program based on
employee/customer feedback.
@ Mosaic: Use as Transitional Documentation. Help to
identify employee strengths, and provide focus for how to
develop employees.

Possible Constraints
Our Research: Avoid using the 360 to determine
compensation, since bias is inherent in the system, and
evaluations from raters can be inconsistent.
@ Ziptrek & Mosaic: Use 360 purely for developmental
purposes. Other means of Evaluations already in place for
appraisals. Respect Employee privacy, and discourage
employees from attributing comments.

How the 360 operates is dependent upon the industry that
employs it, and the length of time is has been used.
The 360 aims to engender a culture of continuous learning,
whereby competencies are strengthened.
The Value of the tool can only be determined by the quality
of the feedback (delivered through training) and the quality
of the Follow-Up (delivered through development plans).
