Are Your Competent Enought For Your Job?

When you work for someone else, you are judged by their standards and what they believe that you know. More often than not, it's based on your education and not on how competent you are to hold a position.


There is a newer way to judge how well you can do your job. Emotional Intelligence (EI) takes competency a step further and assumes that you are intelligent enough for your position. It's not as much a key factor. What matters is whether you are emotionally stable enough and can make sound judgments, etc. A company called Appraisal360 can help monitor real life behavior through questionnaires, 360 degree feedback and tools to help companies make sound decisions on what kind of employee is going to benefit their business.


Press Release:

Imagine that you lived on your own in the world and you were the only person to give you feedback. It would be a bit of a lonely life and you wouldn't learn much. The fact is that the only real way to assess your emotional intelligence is to get feedback from people who know you and the way you interact. Developing the emotional intelligence of your workforce is good for business. It's the vital quality that underpins good teamwork, good industrial relations and makes the difference between having an inspired workforce and an average one. Just imagine a contented workforce which ran smoothly and efficiently with a minimum of fuss. using 360-degree feedback as part of your appraisal and development process you can bring some serious benefits to both your business and your people. People gain much better self awareness by learning how their colleagues perceive them . People generally like 360 degree feedback. They take things less personally and are more likely to take on board what's been said. It helps people understand how their behaviour influences both their own personal effectiveness and how they impact the smooth running of the organisation. It improves communication within the organisation and encourages a more open culture where giving and receiving constructive feedback is the norm. It is a very powerful driver for change both for individuals and organisations as a whole. The Appraisal360 system has no setup costs and is targeted at Employers, HR Professionals and Individuals More information at: http://www.appraisal360.co.uk/Emotional-Intelligence-Homepage-66
