Such a consistent message helps the organization encourage and reinforce particular behaviors.

The Birkman 360 gathers information about performance as measured by individuals themselves and by their supervisors, peers and subordinates, reporting on nine competencies driving work and organizational success. With the Birkman 360®, individuals can see multiple facets of each situation from different perspectives, as well as reflecting their reactions from the viewpoint of other people. The Birkman 360® reveals where people should channel their energy, to increase their impact and effectiveness.

More than 40 report types are generated from a single 45-minute online questionnaire, including a two-person comparative report that highlights the similarities and areas for potential conflict between two people.
