New Panoramic Feedback Features Divert Administrative Tasks to Users

Panoramic Feedback, a leading provider in 360-degree feedback, has released features to reduce the workload of administrators by allowing those being assessed to input their own responders online for automatic delivery to busy feedback administrators.

“Our aim is to relieve the pressure on administrators who manage large feedback projects,” CEO Esther Kohn-Bentley said. “They’re busy people, responsible for a sensitive and important process, and they’ve told us they appreciate our efforts to simplify their work.”

The first of the features is the new responder portal which moves the task of entering email addresses for responders from the administrators to those being assessed. Once reported, the system then automatically sends an email to the responders soliciting feedback. Should responders be slow to act, the system also monitors activity and reports on individuals lagging in their response.

“It’s an option that means administrators need no longer face the daunting task of managing thousands of responder email addresses,” Kohn-Bentley said.

An additional optional feature automatically delivers feedback reports to individuals being assessed.

“While the ideal may be to deliver them through a coach or supervisor, this option is valuable for those organizations that prefer to provide them direct to the individual. Previously, administrators had to generate the reports, then deliver each one to the individual concerned,” she said. “Now they simply tell our system when they want the reports delivered, and it emails them out on that date. It’s automatic, easy, and efficient.”
