It provides you with feedback about yourself as a senior HR professional from a number of different sources based on the CIPD HR Map It’s a chance to compare others’ views with those of your own. It’s a chance to see what people perceive you as doing really well, as well as what they think you can improve on. It’s about perceptions and is not an exact science. It’s about focusing on the messages and not the numbers.
