About easyfeedback – 360-degree feedback

Questionnaire – assessing professional and personal skills
The starting point for making a decision lies in the design and customisation of the questionnaire content. This is what determines which competencies you assess and, of course, whether your ideas can be put into practice.
There are tools that provide benchmarks. However, these benchmarks can only be provided if the questionnaire is identical for every company; otherwise, comparability would not be possible.
However, as every company has a different focus and a different business model, whilst benchmarks are useful, they also imply that an identical leadership policy is in place in every company.
With easyfeedback, we offer you both a ready-made questionnaire template and the option to edit, delete or add to all questions – exactly as suits your company.
2 types of tools – personal access for every employee: yes or no?
Generally speaking, there are two types of tools available for staff surveys and 360-degree feedback:
1. Uploading the entire workforce (expensive)
With a tool offered as a comprehensive HR solution, you upload your entire workforce into the system. The advantage of this is that the software recognises every employee, and they can be automatically assigned to their line managers. Furthermore, with this type of tool, it is possible to automatically send reports to line managers.
The downside of these tools is the pricing model. You pay around €2–4 per month. For a one-off 360-degree feedback exercise, this represents a significant investment.
2. You use a survey tool such as easyfeedback
With easyfeedback, you don’t need to upload your entire workforce. We have developed specialised 360-degree features, which mean that an upload is not necessary and you can save on the monthly costs per employee.
Employees and respondents are assigned to a manager via an XLS file. Invitations are sent by email, just as with other tools. This allows you to manage costs more effectively, as we charge per participant and per survey rather than per employee.
Automatic reports – a comparison of perspectives
Even without uploading the entire workforce, easyfeedback’s 360 Reports automatically compare the perspectives that have been created. This means you don’t have to do any manual work when generating the reports and can simply send them to all managers with a single click.
You therefore enjoy the same benefits as with a tool that requires the entire workforce to be uploaded at considerable cost.
The added value of analysis – save yourself the cost of an external consultant
Automatic analysis of the results for each manager
Analysing and interpreting the results of a 360-degree feedback process is no easy task. Before AI analysis became available, these results were evaluated by specialists and subsequently presented – a very time-consuming and costly process.
Today, with AI analysis at our disposal, this has changed fundamentally.
With our 360-degree AI analyses at easyfeedback, you receive a comprehensive analysis for every manager, based on their personal results, and there is no need to engage external consultants.
Through the 360-degree AI analyses, every manager receives an overview of their unrecognised strengths, blind spots and areas of high alignment. They also receive an overview of key patterns, a focus for reflection and targeted recommendations for further development.
Analysis at company level
And for senior management and the HR department, there is also a company-wide analysis. This provides you with a meta-level insight into the existing leadership culture, the organisation-wide strengths and weaknesses, and, once again, recommendations.
And all of this without the need for an external consultant. This enables you to develop much more agilely and quickly.
How many staff members is a 360-degree feedback process with easyfeedback suitable for?
The number of staff and managers is irrelevant. Both small firms with 15 managers and large corporations with 150 managers can easily implement a 360-degree feedback process using easyfeedback. This is because the steps involved are identical whether you’re working with a small team or a large one.
The questionnaire is created once, and the upload and assignment of staff to each manager are also carried out once. Emails are sent as a bulk email, and reports are sent with a single click. Consequently, the workload does not increase significantly as the number of managers rises.
Costs – how much does an employee survey with easyfeedback cost?
The cost depends on whether the analysis feature is included or not, and on whether you wish to send the reports automatically by email.
€790 per year – Business plan
The Business plan is the entry point for 360-degree feedback. It provides you with the basic tools you need to implement the process. Although the plan is billed annually, if you divide the cost by the number of managers, you’ll find it’s a good and affordable way to get started with 360-degree feedback.
€1,759 per year – Professional plan + Result STUDIO
For optimal implementation, including automatic 360-degree AI analyses, we recommend the Professional plan, which includes Result STUDIO.
The Professional package includes all the features required to carry out the 360-degree feedback process. It allows you to involve 20,000 employees.
Furthermore, with Result STUDIO, you receive automated analyses without needing to engage an external consultant. When you consider the costs in relation to the number of managers, this represents an extremely cost-effective investment in the development of your management team.
