360 DEGREE FEEDBACK BENEFITS
Employees should be aware of what 360 degree feedback benefits could mean for them.
Hmmm...perhaps we should first understand what 360 feedback means. 360 degree feedback is also called multi-rater assessment, per review, multi-source feedback among others.
These terms describe a system that provides a way for those around an employee to evaluate her job performance. Those around her include… - co-workers
- subordinates (those that she manages or supervises)
- customers
- suppliers
- managers
- other interested parties
That’s why it’s called a 360 degree feedback. We receive input from a circle of those around us who know something about our job performance. The employee is rated by those around her and then receives a report of the 360 degree assessment from a supervisor, manager or someone decided by management.
360 degree evaluations are also done anonymously. That means they are conducted secretly so the employee being rated doesn’t know who the raters around her are. Hello, I’m Yancey and secrecy is one of the areas of controversy about 360 degree peer reviews.
This is especially true when 360 reviews involve a performance appraisal for promotions, demotions, pay increases or bonuses. Follow this link to see how it will affect you if your company or organization has a combination 360 degree evaluation and a performance evaluation appraisal.
