360 Assessments are tools to enhance learning and behavioral change, resulting in stronger individual and team performance. 360 assessments are not performance reviews, but are confidential measures to help individuals and teams improve performance while enhancing productivity. CTAT, LLC’s 360 assessment and associated coaching processes are safe, engaging, and fun.
Following extensive research, CTAT, LLC has adopted 4-D Systems’ 360 assessment tool. 4-D Systems was founded by Charlie Pellerin, former head of Astrophysics at NASA, and has assisted more than 2000 teams during the past twenty years. By identifying its assessments as “accelerators,” the 4-D Systems model promotes improvement in work and personal life while increasing productivity.
What does the 4-D “accelerator” do?
- It assesses 8 key behaviors that critically impact individual and team performance.
- Along with coaching, it provides a safe way to hear what people are already thinking about you and/or the team, providing each person with the opportunity to become better understood and to perform at higher levels.
- With re-assessments, you have the opportunity to see a record of your feedback over time.
Outcomes:
Participants will discuss and ultimately understand:
- Differences between the four generations
- Generational preferences and communication styles
- The connection between miscommunication among today’s multi-generational workplace and productivity/employee engagement
