They managed the project from software setup to execution and also provided the critically important one-on-one feedback sessions with our executive team” adds Sindoni.

•Unique features that ensure accuracy and anonymity of responses,
•Customized reports that pinpoint leadership strengths/areas for development, and identify gaps in perception, and
•Return on Investment (ROI) analyses to ensure that Leadership Development initiatives drive bottom-line results

D., viaPeople’s Managing Director of Consulting Services. "Our 360-Degree Feedback software has advanced features that are critical to data integrity and anonymity and these features allow us to conduct sophisticated analyses on the results.”
