The 360 assessment is a vital element of a planned approach to developing talent aligned with strategic goals.

"Our approach to 360 assessment is easy", said Chris Horseman, MD of Balance Learning. "We provide all the powerful features with a clear interface, automated reminders, and signposted, instant reports. We also make sure the customer is in control of how the survey works, with a range of configurable parameters such as numbers of raters and groups, who selects raters, and many more."

ez360 is used in a range of industry sectors including utilities, housing, construction, aviation, and government. Because it is a web-based tool, it doesn't require any software installation and can be accessed on a PC or a web-enabled mobile device. Balance provide off-the-shelf competency-based surveys and the ability for the purchasing organisation to input and edit their own survey. In addition, it can offer professional services to design customer surveys for specific tasks.

"We also make it easy to buy. There's no set up fee, no hidden costs, and prices range from £23 to £50 per candidate depending on volume - regardless of the number of raters. We want people to experience the great value and service we give, so we're offering our free trial for sign up online that allows them to explore all the features of ez360, including our competency-based reports, with up to five candidates."
