Case Studies

Hospitality Client-Caribbean

The managing director wanted to provide his top executives, key administrative and functional managers with the opportunity to receive 360-degree feedback from their peers and direct reports. The client wanted to expand the current performance appraisal system and minimize potentially biased appraisals as much as possible. He also wanted to focus more on the competency areas that he needed to optimize for his very competitive industry. The primary focus was to develop the competency and overall effectiveness of the managerial team and to identify high potential performers who could be promoted in the future.

Hospitality Client-Southeast Asia

One of our clients wanted to automate their customer satisfaction survey so they could receive real-time feedback from guests at their resort. The client had been using a paper based survey that guests could complete after checkout. They collected responses for the week and hand-entered the results onto a spread sheet. Typically, it took the client from two to four months to collect, enter, compile, produce, and initiate corrective action based on the feedback results. The client contacted us with the goal of reducing this time from collection to delivery to within a month.

¿Por que la retroinformacíon 360° ha llegado a ser una herramienta clave para el desarrollo?

La credibilidad es una razón importante. 360° es más relevante que la evaluación del desempeño tradicional. La retroinformación del jefe como fuente única puede no siempre ser aceptada por el subordinado, especialmente si el contenido de la retroinformación es diferente a 10 esperado por él. La credibilidad puede verse afectada si el participante siente que la evaluación del jefe es parcial o injusta.
