 360 DEGREE 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. [1] |
