  • All Culture Amp subscriptions that include Effectiveness

With Individual Effectiveness 360 Surveys, you can configure particular sections to only be answered by specific groups of individuals providing feedback. This functionality applies to Individual 360 and Leadership 360 templates.

When you go to edit a section in the survey design tool, you'll see a set of configuration options under Visibility. Each checkbox toggles whether the section will show for each relationship. For example, in the default Individual Effectiveness template, the "Manager Feedback" section is set up to only be visible to Direct Reports. Similarly, you can use this functionality to include questions only for an individual Manager(s) or Co-workers.

The visibility options will also determine which sections are shown to the employee during their self-review. A section will always be visible during self-review if all relationship types are selected. However, if a section is set to be visible to less than all the groups, visibility on the self review will change depending on the participants' selected reviewers.

E.g. If a section is only visible to direct reports, it will only show in the self-review if the employee has direct report reviewers on their 360° process.

This ensures a consistent experience for the employees taking the survey and later on when they are viewing their Feedback Report.

Note: Currently, it is not possible to configure questions in a 360 Effectiveness survey to be visible only for self-review by the employee. If this doesn’t fit what you're looking for, reach out to your Customer Success Team for help with designing your survey, or just reply with "Ask a Person" in a Support Conversation to speak with a Product Support Specialist.

Tip: While it isn't possible to make a section available only for the self-review, you do have the option to reword how questions appear on the self-review compared to how other reviewers see them. This can help as a workaround to ensure the questions make sense to the self-reviewer, or you may even choose to set them as "N/A" if the question isn't relevant for the self-review at all.
