What is 360 Development?
360 feedback (aka multi-rater feedback) is a method of employee review that ensures every member of staff has the opportunity to receive performance (and developmental) feedback from their supervisor, manager and a set number of peers.
By taking a 360-degree approach to employee development and experience, organizations of all sizes can close talent gaps, increase organizational performance and bring teams closer together.
For example, they can quickly extend development programs to more employees without additional administrative overheads, and deliver employee development experiences that best meet their organization’s unique needs.
Through these personalized, data-driven and actionable insights, supervisors, managers and leaders empower employees at all levels to accelerate their careers, become better leaders, and improve their business impact. Plus, as 360-degree feedback draws information from multiple resources, it becomes significantly easier to uncover issues (or opportunities) that would have gone unnoticed.
Ultimately, with the right 360 feedback software, it becomes possible to analyze every stage of the employee journey, including the feedback shared, to devise truly effective action plans that bring out the most from your people and the business.
