Frequently Asked Questions |
1. What is the Profiles Checkpoint™ and how does it work?
The Profiles Checkpoint™ provides a full-circle overview of an individual's abilities in eight key competency areas (communication, leadership, adaptability, relationships, task management, production, development of others and personal development) by gathering information from various perspectives: self, boss, direct reports and peers. (Anonymity is guaranteed for direct reports and peers.) This multi-source system is considered more fair, accurate and balanced than a single-supervisor evaluation or peer review alone, and the increased reliability of multiple observations tends to stimulate more commitment to personal growth.
Feedback is presented in a practical, easy to read report that compares responses to the survey. The graphic and numeric report provides a visual summary of results, as well as detailed statistics. While the feedback helps describe where participants are, The Checkpoint
Development Planner helps illustrate where they can go. This self-initiated improvement plan involves first examining the feedback data, then generating related development goals, and finally determining concrete methods for achieving the goals. Checkpoint
provides a clear, specific outline for the process. Participants take charge of personal change.

4. What about confidentiality?
Once the respondents have finished providing feedback, either via the internet or on paper, their responses go directly to the Profiles Checkpoint
Service Center for processing, assuring the confidentiality of the results. Only the boss's results typically point to a specific individual. Peer and direct report results are not identified by individual.

6. What do the reports cover?
The Profiles Checkpoint
reports include two sections:
Section I - The Feedback Report
Helps chart the course of professional development. The comprehensive Checkpoint
report presents results that are easily read and understood. Participants can increase self-awareness, compare perceptions from different workplace sources, measure performance in relation to goals, clarify the expectations of others, and prioritize developmental needs. An excellent coaching tool, the Checkpoint
report provides a balanced picture with valuable insights. Since all reports are processed off-site, confidentiality is assured. Both individual and group reports are available.
Section II - The Development Planner
Helps route the course of professional development. Direct, specific and constructive, the development planner's emphasis is on action. It takes Checkpoint
beyond numbers to an exploration of development methods. The self-directed planner includes guides for interpreting data, setting goals and identifying strategies to bring about change. Like other Checkpoint
components, the development planner is uncomplicated and results-oriented.
