360 degree feedback – appraisal from all angles

360 degree feedback (or multi-rater feedback) has become an important part of the appraisal and feedback process in most major companies. Typically, 360 degree appraisals include a self assessment, subordinate feedback, peer feedback and manager feedback. Sometimes, a 360 appraisal also includes input from external sources such as clients and suppliers.

Feedback from 360 degree appraisals can be used for development, leadership, values or performance management. However, a generic solution is unlikely to deliver meaningful results. Barry Dyer from Bupa gives a perspective in this video.

The key to unlocking the potential of 360 degree appraisals is to design a tailored programme with a specific objective.

ETS 360 degree feedback appraisals are completely bespoke. We can develop a totally new programme or modify your existing system. Our 360 feedback tools can be completed both online and offline and can be integrated into our performance management solutions.

360-degree appraisal to change behaviour

We understand that the pay off from multi-rater systems lies not in the results themselves but in their ability to effect business behavioural change. Indeed, lack of action on feedback by line managers can actually become an independent source of frustration for employees.

Benefits of 360-degree feedback appraisal include improved employee self awareness, improved communication and an open organisational culture. Consequently, 360 feedback appraisals can be a powerful driver for business improvement, both at an employee and organisational level.
