Auckland, New Zealand – January 14, 2010 – The revolutionary redesign of Sonar6’s 360° review capability, Sonar6 360°, demonstrates an increased focus on usability and information access in performance management software.
Sonar6 360º builds on the user-friendly features of Sonar6’s online reviews to give users more detailed, more accurate performance feedback. By viewing information collected from a wider range of sources, management gets a clearer picture of employee performance and a better foundation for decision making.
The improved and simplified Sonar6 360º reviews bring multirater functionality to organizations that may lack the resources to deal with that level of review complexity.
Sonar6 Head of Experience Michael Carden says Sonar6 360° further demonstrates the company’s dedication to democratizing performance management.
“Feedback from co-workers and customers is extremely useful in getting a complete picture of how someone is performing in their role. In the past this used to be the preserve of complex 360° systems deployed by consultants in the rarefied atmosphere of the ‘top talent’ group. With Sonar6 360° it’s now incredibly simple for anyone in the business to gather feedback on their performance from others.”
