What are the benefits of multi-rater feedback? Is it appropriate in every sector?

Jo Payne, a good friend of Bowland Solutions, is about to embark on a challenge that has even left us in the office out of breath!
In July, she and close friend Mel Rainey will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, to raise funds for the Pilgrims Hospice.
Jo, whose preparation and climb are being filmed by the BBC's Video Nation, is dedicating the climb to her Dad John Payne, who died of cancer almost 18 years ago aged only 50.
"The Pilgrims Hospice in Canterbury played an important part in our family's life during the weeks before my Dad died, so it felt fitting that this should be done in memory of him and in support the hospice, which gave so graciously when it was needed."
We wish them the very best of luck and can't wait to see the photos from the top! If you wish to donate, visit the website at www.JoAndMelClimbKili.com
