The responses you provide to the Communication Style Survey items will be scored and analyzed to generate feedback that will be used for leadership, management, and/or individual development via the Perceptive Communications program.
The feedback reports developed on the basis of Communication Styles Survey data describe individuals' communication styles, ability to adapt to the communication needs of others, and oral communication competency. These reports include text, tables, and figures that summarize the survey responses by the focal individual profiled (e.g. the leader or member participating in the Perceptive Communications program) against descriptions provided by other respondents such as their peers, direct reports, or superiors. Others’ responses to the style and competency measures will be combined with those of at least two additional people. However, each of the others’ responses to questions concerning adaptability will be plotted separately (without names). Additionally, others’ responses to the styles questions will be plotted separately (without names) when there is noticeable disagreement in their reports.
The feedback reports are provided to recipients in either electronic or hard-copy format through the consultant, trainer, or coach administering the development program. Note that in most cases, HSI delivers feedback reports indirectly via program administrators rather than directly to the individuals being described. If you do not know who is administering the program in which the Communication Style Survey is being used, you can contact your supervisor or human resources department to discuss how and by whom the report will be delivered.
The survey results are intended to support personal and professional development initiatives and will be used by the focal individuals to establish action plans. Therefore, HSI reserves the right to correct any data collection errors or omissions that would otherwise affect the accuracy or completeness of the feedback provided to the individuals participating in the development program.
Data summarized in individual feedback reports within organizations, departments, courses or training sessions might be combined with data in similar reports to generate composite results and group-level reports. In developing these reports, personally identifiable data are aggregated in ways that maintain individuals’ confidentiality.
