360 Degree Feedback
From Learning and training wiki
 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 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] |
