How to do 360 degree feedback?

Management does not always understand what the team's opinion of an employee is. One of the most effective methods to solve this problem is the "360 degree feedback" - a survey that effectively allows you to evaluate the professional qualities of an employee from the team.

• The aims of the assessment;
• Form the right talent pool;
• Compare their own subjective assessment, to understand how you are seen by others;
• Get honest feedback from the whole team;
• Form effective project teams;
• Understand the competence of a particular employee.

Based on the name, you can understand that this method involves assessing a particular employee from all sides. Ideally, the list of interviewees should look as follows:

• Subordinates (if your team has any);
• Colleagues or supervisors;
• Immediate supervisor;
• The interviewee himself.
