Feedback Enthusiast.

Does this sound like you…or who you aspire to be?  Then I’d like to give you a checklist of sorts–for the kinds of features you will find in the feedback solution package offered by Coworkers.com.

• You are an individual or conultant who wants to take control of your professional reputation by gathering genuine, in-depth, sometimes anonymous, feedback from coworkers your career
• You want to get honest, unbiased, specific professional feedback from your coworkers. You want to be able to manage your feedback — and who sees it — throughout their career, not just for what you are currently doing.
• You’re committed to ongoing improvement. You want to get ahead by learning where your strengths and weaknesses lie, and monitoring how your feedback changes over time.
• You want to set and analyze goals to improve their effectiveness.

Have I got your interest?  Well, read on to see if the following user features and/or benefits would enrich and energize your professional life.

• Users connect with current and former colleagues for honest and, if desired, anonymous feedback on their professional profile, their overall work performance, and the quality and effectiveness of deliverables or specific milestones.
• Users can customize a review template to specific industries, companies, or projects.
• Requested feedback can range from simple commentary to detailed critique.
• Requests are sent via email and/or links that are easy to embed in social networks, blogs, etc.
• With a single click, users can receive statistical details that address questions such as: “how am I doing at work over time?”, “how are my interpersonal skills vs. my productivity?”, or “how am I seen by subordinates vs. supervisors?” This ongoing, analytical approach to work performance puts more practical information in the hands of the worker than is usually provided via traditional annual reviews, sporadic bursts of feedback via email or water cooler chat, or online business networking sites.
• Users can proactively send work evaluations to colleagues via email on an ad hoc basis. The anonymous response and public/private features encourage candor.
• Users control what feedback is collected and which is seen. By selectively displaying reviews and ratings via their public profiles, users can proactively bolster their professional reputations.
