Term2.png 360 DEGREE FEEDBACK
Feedback provided by subordinates, peers, co-workers and supervisors, including also a self-assessment and, sometimes, feedback from customers and suppliers. 360 degree feedback is also known as "multirater" or "multisource" feedback, since it comes from all the persons working with the employee. "360" is related to the 360 degrees in a circle: the person to be evaluated stays figuratively in the center of it. The person receiving the feedback often uses the results from 360 degree feedback to plan his/her training and development. Some organizations also make administrative decisions, such as pay or promotion, starting from this kind of feedback. [1]
