dunnhumby uses Carbon360 for fourth year
dunnhumby - the international marketing consultancy and services company, is set to use Carbon360 for the fourth year in a row to roll out, manage and report on their annual 360 reviews. This year sees dunnhumby increase the number of employees using Carbon360 to undertake 360-degree feedback reviews. The flexibility and range of features offered by Carbon360, and its user-friendly administration area, has enabled dunnhumby to refine and adjust the system to suit their needs each year.
Element78 work closely with dunnhumby each year to facilitate the setup and support the running of the reviews, as well as providing bespoke management reporting to complement the individual and enterprise level reporting available as standard with Carbon360.
Element78 deliver results to Edexcel
Edexcel, provider of a range of internationally recognised qualifications to more than two million learners annually, has chosen Element78 to help automate its performance development review process. Element78 will design and build a bespoke solution which will enable every employee to manage their own review online, and allow input and sign-off capabilities for managers. The solution will be implemented in time for reviews at the start of 2009.
Edexcel invested in Element78’s appraisal software, Carbon360, in 2007, and has successfully used it to automate both its 360 feedback processes and its skills surveys. Element78 has worked closely with Edexcel to ensure a successful implementation, and this has included identifying and adding further features to Carbon360. Working together on a bespoke HR solution now seems a natural progression for the two organisations.
MC3 Adopts Carbon360
Within the learning and development arena, 360o appraisals have become an essential part of the toolkit needed to manage and develop people effectively. As a leader in providing consultancy and training services, MC3 needed to make sure they had a solution that would enable them to perform 360o appraisals in a fast and effective manner. Their current solution was proving cumbersome and challenging to use. It didn’t give them the flexibility that was needed by MC3 and their clients especially when it came to workflow and competency frameworks. The solution? Carbon360
Element78 solutions were happy to provide MC3 with Carbon360, our very own market leading 360o appraisal solution. Carbon360 gave MC3 the functionality that they needed along with the flexibility to offer different clients totally different workflows and questionnaires. MC3 now use Carbon360 as the vehicle to deliver their own bespoke frameworks and by using the powerful reporting in Carbon360, they are able deliver the results effectively.

South Gloucestershire County Council Expands Use Of Carbon360
South Gloucestershire County Council, an early adopter of Carbon360, has expanded their use of the solution.
Over 800 members of staff now use Carbon360 and have done so for the past 3 years. What appeals to those who care for HR within the council is the flexible nature of the product. As within any council, the workforce is diverse and finding a solution to carry out effective appraisals for such a workforce can be prove a challenge. However, Carbon360, with its inherent flexibility in competency framework and workflow has enabled the council to tailor the appraisals to the development needs of the individual business units within the organisation
Hermes CEO champions Carbon360
Hermes Fund Managers Ltd has extended a 360 degree appraisal system to all its staff and adopted Carbon360 software to support this move. Having previouslHermes Fund Managers Ltd has extended a 360 degree appraisal system to all its staff and adopted Carbon360 software to support this move. Having previously used an off-the-shelf product, Hermes has invested in the Web based product which offers the flexibility required to support all areas of the organisation.
An ambitious roll out programme to 350 people, which represents 25% of the business, has been achieved in just three months. One of the first people to adopt the appraisal system is Rupert Clarke, CEO for Hermes who has championed the role of 360 appraisals. By participating in the process, Clarke has demonstrated that everyone in the company should play their part and that all members of the organisation benefit from constructive peer/report reviews.
Commenting on the 360 degree initiative, Nicky Maiden, Head of Organisational Development for Hermes Fund Managers said:
“Hermes is a multi boutique business supporting clients across a range of asset classes - each of which has very different needs which, in turn, need different skills sets from the people working in our business units.
“As a Web browser based product that we can manage in-house, we have been given the flexibility we need with Carbon360 as each business unit has been able to write its own behaviour statements and competencies. This consultative approach ensures that people are fully engaged in the process and competencies are accurately tailored for each department.”
More than five suppliers’ products were assessed before the decision was taken by Hermes to invest in Carbon360. Key reasons for selection were the HR competency framework and consultancy opportunities that would empower and engage Hermes’ staff. The ability to measure people against relevant metrics is also viewed as instrumental in the development of both individuals and the organisation.
Hermes invests funds on behalf of over 200 clients including pension funds, insurance companies, government entities, financial institutions and charities / endowments. The company’s owner, and largest Client, is the BT Pension Scheme.
