Relative Review 360 encourages honest feedback on real performance, protecting the integrity of business and family relationships—and helping your family employees grow into their full potential.
Helping All Family Employees—and Your Business—Succeed
Family members often serve in a variety of operational roles within a family business, not just in a senior leadership capacity. Rising leaders must be coached and prepared to evolve along their trajectory; current leaders must adapt to a constantly changing work environment. No matter what role the employee fills, reviewing performance is a sensitive process that can be uncomfortable for all parties involved, both family and non-family. Because it can be uncomfortable to give honest reviews to family employees these individuals can often be robbed of valuable input that could significantly influence their success in the business. Without critical feedback, family members may miss out on opportunities to improve skills, and to realize their personal and professional potential.
Relevant and insightful assessments of the family employee cover:
- Job Performance
- Collaborative Skills
- Entrepreneurial Drive
- Communication Skills
- Self-Awareness
- Work Ethic
An Efficient and Informed Family Employee Review Process
The review takes less than 30 minutes for each respondent to complete. Individual responses are not shared with anyone. Continuity facilitates the review process and provides only a summary report to the review subject, the company’s head of HR, the subject’s manager, and the senior family member(s) of the business. The summary report preserves the anonymity of the respondents by reframing comments that could be interpreted or linked to a reviewer.
Improved Performance and Strengthened Family Bonds
Relative Review 360 supports a more useful and constructive review experience. It is also time efficient and does not burden employees with significant extra work impacting their productivity. The results help family employees perform in a way that supports corporate/family goals and values, and helps the subject successfully pursue their desired career path. Relative Review 360 opens a pathway to greater satisfaction and fulfillment through engagement with your business.
