A 360° review is a structured, comprehensive feedback process usually conducted for a senior leadership team.
Standard 360°Peers, direct reports & internal customers can be included as (anonymous) raters. Manager and Self are automatically added as raters, although the self-ratings are for comparison only and are not included in the scoring.
An administrator configures the 360° with start & end dates, the list of leaders to be evaluated and the questions that will make up the 360° questionnaire. Leaders then select their proposed raters from a drop down list of peers & direct reports which is then forwarded to his/her manager for approval. Alternatively, raters can be set up as part of the configuration, based on a pre-approved list.
Once approved, the raters each receive an email request with a link to the questions. Once the process is complete the manager is notified and can ‘vet’ the report before meeting with the individual to discuss the results. Alternatively a facilitated team feedback session can be arranged to de-brief the process based on the dominant themes, strengths and weaknesses highlighted in the feedback.
The report itself is divided up into the following categories:
- Peers (Anonymous)
- Direct reports (Anonymous)
- Manager
- Self
A combined aggregated report is also available for comparison purposes.
The entire process is automated which makes the set up and management of the 360° process simple.
