Empower people growth through 360-degree feedback surveys

360-degree feedback is a thorough employee review that looks at strengths and areas to improve, using input from close colleagues and others. This inclusive and anonymous evaluation is often seen as more insightful than a traditional review by a manager.

Along with feedback from others, employees also do a self-evaluation, answering the same questions. This gives a full picture, leading to a report showing where there are gaps and ideally a plan for improvement. These reports help individuals grow and track company goals.

Success with 360-degree feedback depends on doing it right and having a clear follow-up plan. With these in place, organizations can make the most of the process.

Other Common Names

Who conducts the feedback?

In a 360-degree feedback survey, people who regularly interact with the employee, like managers, coworkers, or customers, are asked to join. They get a link to fill out the survey online. Also, the person being evaluated gets a link for self-assessment, answering the same questions.

Involving more people gives a broader and fairer view in the feedback. This approach considers different opinions, giving a complete picture of the employee’s performance and where they can improve. The survey lets everyone weigh in, leading to a better understanding of the employee’s strengths and areas for growth.

How does a 360 self-evaluation work?

As part of the 360-degree feedback process, employees get to assess themselves using the same questions as others. This self-assessment helps spot how they see themselves and any skill gaps they might have.

Reflecting on themselves helps employees understand their strengths and where they can do better. It’s a starting point for learning and growth, giving them control over their development. This self-assessment lays the groundwork for personal improvement plans and boosts the chance for self-improvement. Encouraging self-reflection leads to a better way of developing employees through 360-degree feedback.
