What is a 360-degree employee evaluation?
360 Degree Feedback is
an assessment system or process in which employees receive confidential, anonymous evaluations from the people who work around them. This typically includes manager, peers, and direct reports.
Benefits of 360-Degree Feedback Assessment
Competency assessment. You can assess exactly the way employees enact their workplace competencies in actual work situations.
Enhanced credibility. You receive feedback from several respondents, which increases the credibility of the assessment.
Reality check. You can compare the employee’s self-assessment with other people’s perspectives. This also helps identify discrepancies between a manager’s intentions and the employee’s perceptions.
Diversity of opinions. 360-degree feedback might include various points of view that all contribute to an average score.
Increased self-awareness. Employees can compare their self-rating with the assessments of others and learn what they can improve.
