A 360-degree feedback assessment is a tool that gathers feedback from multiple perspectives - an individual's managers, colleagues, team members, and customers - to provide a comprehensive evaluation of their performance.
The 360 assessment provides a holistic view of an individual's competencies and helps identify performance gaps.
How do 360-degree feedback tools work?
360-degree feedback tools enable individuals to collect feedback from various stakeholders in their work environment. The 360-degree feedback platform utilises rating scales and free-text response options to assess performance across different competencies.
Respondents rate the individual's performance on each competency, their responses remaining confidential and anonymous. The feedback is then compiled into a report, generated by the 360 feedback system, highlighting areas of agreement and differences, providing a comprehensive view of the individual's performance.
