Optimal 360° Feedback Management and more with VitalTeam

Language has power. Certain terms, such as "evaluation", can have a negative connotation. At VitalTeam, we recognise this power and give companies the freedom to choose their own terminology, whether it's "feedback", "360 feedback", "rétroaction", "bilan" or something else.

Unlike the traditional model, which links a person to a function, VitalTeam distinguishes between individuals and their roles. In this way, feedback is given to a person in a specific role, guaranteeing greater accuracy and relevance.

Whether it's programmed or spontaneous feedback, 360° feedback or other modes, VitalTeam offers unrivalled flexibility. HR, managers or even employees can initiate the process. Feedback can be structured around predefined templates, based on competencies, expected results, or free-form questions.

With VitalTeam, you can go beyond simple manager-employee feedback. You can engage in a 360 feedback approach soliciting opinions from colleagues, customers or suppliers. And thanks to our intelligent system, we ensure that no one is overwhelmed with requests for feedback.

Feedback is valuable. That's why VitalTeam guarantees anonymity, if desired, and presents the results graphically, clearly and qualitatively.

In a constantly changing professional world, the ability to provide and receive immediate feedback, or "spontaneous feedback", is becoming crucial for personal development and team cohesion.

1. Valuing through Recognition: Spontaneous feedback can often take the form of simple recognition. A compliment on a task well done, or appreciation for a particular effort, can boost employees' self-esteem and motivation. This act of recognition, however brief, creates a working environment where individuals feel valued for their contributions.

2. Cultivating Gratitude: The simple act of showing gratitude to a colleague, whether for their help, ideas or commitment, reinforces a positive corporate culture. This gratitude, expressed through spontaneous feedback, has the power to transform professional relationships, fostering a collaborative and supportive atmosphere.

3. Encourage Adjustment and Perfection: Just as important as recognition and gratitude, spontaneous feedback also provides an invaluable opportunity for adjustment. By constructively pointing out an area for improvement, you give your colleagues the opportunity to grow and adjust. Rather than seeing this as criticism, it should be seen as a gift: a chance to learn, adapt and improve.

At VitalTeam, we firmly believe that spontaneous feedback, when given in a spirit of support and collaboration, can be one of the most powerful tools for strengthening a team and fostering personal growth. With our platform, organisations can cultivate an environment where recognition, gratitude and continuous development are at the forefront of the corporate culture.

Beyond simple exchanges, 1-to-1 interviews represent a privileged moment between two people within an organisation, whether it's a manager and his colleague, two colleagues or even an HR person accompanying an employee.

1. A Flexible and Targeted Structure: Unlike group meetings where several voices meet, 1-to-1 interviews offer a more intimate and targeted structure. Before the interview, it is common practice to create an agenda or questionnaire based on the results of a 360 feedback survey, for example, enabling each party to prepare effectively. This format ensures that everyone's concerns, feedback and objectives are addressed with the depth and attention they deserve.

2. Encourage Authentic Communication: In a 1-to-1 meeting, communication barriers are often reduced. This encourages open, honest and authentic communication, where feedback, whether positive or constructive, is exchanged in a spirit of growth and mutual understanding.

3. Focus on Personal Development: One of the key benefits of 1-to-1 interviews is the opportunity to identify and discuss professional development opportunities. Whether it's assessing progress against objectives, identifying areas for improvement or discussing future career aspirations, these interviews are key to aligning individual objectives with those of the organisation.

4. Recording and formalising: With VitalTeam, each 1-to-1 interview can be recorded, ensuring that conclusions, decisions and actions are documented. This formalisation makes it possible to monitor progress, evaluate the effectiveness of action plans and guarantee continuity in professional development.

Ultimately, 1-to-1 interviews, when carried out regularly and with intention, can transform professional relationships, strengthen trust and collaboration, and stimulate growth and innovation within the organisation.
