360 Degree Feedback is a valuable tool for managers to gather valuable input from peers and external sources regarding leadership, team, and individual performance and behaviors. This feature allows you to give, receive, and request feedback.

360 Degree Feedback requests can include custom questions with a Likert scale, text responses, or a combination of both types of responses.

360 Degree Feedback example

Employees can request internal feedback regarding themselves. Managers can request feedback on their team. Super Users and Admin Users can request feedback on anyone in the organization.

Here are some benefits of collecting 360 Degree Feedback:

  1. Mitigates Potential Bias: Without multi-rater feedback, organizations run the risk of myopic viewpoints of employee performance and contribution. Inviting multiple perspectives broadens that scope and ensures the employee is assessed fairly.

  2. Increases Self-Awareness: An employee learning how their colleagues perceive them helps to increase an employee’s own self-awareness by more closely examining how his/her actions affect others. Peer feedback can reveal blindsides that were holding the employee back from better working relationships or improved performance.

  3. Equips Managers/Supervisors With Coaching Tools: Giving leaders access to 360-degree feedback equips them with a powerful coaching tool they can use to address specific development needs or strengths of their employees. Because employee development is rarely the only job requirement of a supervisor, the additional perspectives help to fill in any potential gaps about the person they are leading.

When navigating to App> 360 Feedback, manager-level users and above can easily access 'Internal Feedback', 'External Feedback', and 'All' feedback options. When one of the mentioned options is selected you can then toggle between Completed and Pending 360 feedbacks.
