View source for 360 Degree Feedback

{{Term|360 DEGREE FEEDBACK|[[Feedback|Feedback]] provided by subordinates, peers, co-workers and supervisors, including also feedback from customers and suppliers and forms of self-assessment. 
360 degree feedback is also known as "multirater" or "multisource" feedback, since it comes from the persons working around 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 its results to plan his/her training and development, since the 360 degree feedback outlines his/her greatest strengths and weaknesses. This kind of feedback usually helps non-managers to be more effective and to understand what areas they should focus on, if they aim to cover a management role. 
Some organizations also make administrative decisions, such as pay or promotion, on the basis of the 360 degree feedback. <ref> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360-degree_feedback Wikipedia] (25 May 2009), [http://humanresources.about.com/od/360feedback/360_Degree_Feedback_Process.htm humanresources.about.com] (25 May 2009), [http://www.custominsight.com/360-degree-feedback/what-is-360-degree-feedback.asp www.custominsight.com] (25 May 2009) </ref>}}
