Different people look for different types of work. ResponsAbility makes the assumption that there are four different types of work
Planning/ Decision Making Work
Collaborative Work
Interactive Work
Structured Work

Some people love interacting with team member whilst others want to be rewarded for individual effort. Each person brings their own preferences to work with them.
In a recent survey 80% of respondents felt that obtaining the right balance of work was critical to improving team effectiveness and staying in their job. We need to understand:-
- The work they prefer
- How they like to receive work
- What causes them frustration or dissatisfaction
- What they need to give up
The 360 degree feedback helps people understand the four essential capabilities of managing work:
Receiving and understanding work
Planning how it can be accomplished
Managing Work
Reviewing outcomes and standards
The assessment process uses a simple self assessment tool along with a feedback form that can be used by colleagues or stakeholders to provide an outside perspective. These can be managed by paper or be completed on line.
