Common Uses

360 Degree Feedback is a valuable evaluation strategy used by Human Resource departments and managers to gather information on an individual from all angles including feedback from supervisors, co-workers and subordinates as well as, in some cases, external vendors and customers. This technique is beneficial when planning business succession, conducting performance reviews, implementing staff development measures and assessing leadership aptitude.

Succession Planning

For succession planning, 360 Degree Feedback is a viable tool used to identify candidates with strong leadership and executive management traits. These surveys can help to ensure successors complement a company's vision from all perspectives beginning with entry-level employee interaction and climbing up to an individual's dealings with C-level executives and members of the Board of Directors. 360 Degree Feedback can further assist companies in preparing successors for their new role by highlighting needs for improvement and supporting professional development program participation.

Performance Reviews

For performance reviews, 360 Degree Feedback helps organizations assess employee performance by looking not only at the results of their actions but also at the actions themselves. Surveys are able to gather honest input from individuals at all touch-points. As a result, employees are held accountable for their behavior toward all internal and external customers.

Staff Development

For staff development, 360 Degree Feedback helps organizations gather and measure their employees' skills, proficiency, aptitude and behavioral attributes. In turn, they're better equipped to identify and recommend relevant employee development programs to boost performance.

Upward Feedback

Some organizations use multi-source feedback for leadership strength assessment to identify development opportunities. 360 Degree Feedback offers a valuable benchmark to help organizations match leaders with corporate objective. By aligning talents with specific priorities, organizations can reach their goals more efficiently and effectively.
