360 Surveys are unique in that they provide feedback to an employee from multiple perspectives. Such feedback is useful in helping each employee understand how their contribution and performance are viewed by co-workers with whom they interact with on a regular basis. Participation by all team members in the survey process leads to team-building. It helps HR executives identify potential leaders in various areas of their company’s operations. Some companies expand the scope of 360 surveys to include external stakeholders such as clients, vendors and partners. Zarca’s solution streamlines the logistics of a 360 survey with a convenient survey participation and reporting interface.

Exit Surveys

However, an in-depth understanding of the factors that cause employees to leave a company requires a systematic process to conduct exit interviews. Zarca helps its clients deploy a processes-driven survey that enables the collection of high quality feedback from departing employees. Our solution removes the usual stumbling blocks that lead to “sugar-coated” responses, helping uncover the true reasons. This helps companies to address the relevant areas such as compensation, career development or other factors that departing employees may identify.

The survey lets employees rate management performance in a variety of areas such as leadership, motivation, execution, delegation and conflict management. HR managers use Effectiveness studies to identify development issues.
