About 360 Feedback

• 360 degree feedback is a process by which you assess yourself against a set of criteria. Other groups of people who work closely with you will also assess you against the same criteria so that you can compare the results. These groups will include your manager, your peers and your direct reports and may also include indirect reports and customers or business partners and suppliers.
   
• The aim of 360 degree feedback is to enable participants to increase their awareness of their strengths and weaknesses and to understand how their behaviours may impact on others. The benefits of 360 degree feedback are increased when the feedback is given by an experienced person who will assist in the creation of a personal development plan. This may be further enhanced by additional coaching sessions.
   
• The criteria used to make an assessment are based on behaviours linked to the organisation’s goals or values. Questions are asked about behaviours which are assessed on a scale. Participants will receive a report so that they can compare their scores with the scores of different groups. Reports will also include some open ended comments.
