“The 360 Degree Assessment Program has offered a keen and rarely seen insight into the working relationships that exist at our YMCA and how they affect each individuals work performance. The evaluative tools used for the process were easy to use and provided a sense of security for those giving and receiving the results of the questionnaire. This resulted in a truly eye opening review for many, if not all, of our staff. This process allowed constructive criticism to be given and taken at one’s own pace without fear of retribution. This is the only program I have participated in with confidentiality assurances that were not only implied in the presentation of the process but were required for it to be successful.

The results of this evaluation can be witnessed at our offices on a daily basis. The suggestions and discussions have created a true sense of understanding in regards to how we are viewed by, and how we view, our team members. This has aided our development as a team that really understands its members and how they prefer to operate.”
