What is 360 Degree Feedback?
360 degree feedback is a review process where an individual receives confidential and anonymous feedback regarding their performance. As the term 360° suggests the feedback is collated from people around them within the business, their manager, their peers and their subordinates. Additionally, the individual will also complete a questionnaire about themselves and often other groups of people can be included such as customers, suppliers or other stakeholders.
How is it completed?
The questionnaires we ask your team to complete consist of a number of statements that are rated on a scale. There is also opportunity to add some free text comments. The results are collated into a report to aid the understanding of an individual's strengths and areas of development measured against a specific set of competencies. The report can be used along with other appraisal techniques to help formulate an individual personal development plan.
The 360 survey can be effectively used to support business initiatives including: building management capability; leadership development; implementing strategic changes; organisational communication; performance management and succession planning.
