1. Introduction

360 feedback, or multi-rater feedback, is a process of sharing and receiving feedback across all levels of the organization. The comprehensive feedback mechanism allows employees to receive structured feedback anonymously from individuals, including managers, direct reports, peers, and anyone in the organization. You can also nominate reviewers from outside the organization by adding them as external respondents. Learn more about participants of 360 Feedback.

The 360 feedback lets you identify the development gaps by providing a comprehensive vision. Receiving multiple inputs from various disciplines offers more self-awareness about workplace behavior and relationships. The anonymous feedback drives engagement with honesty and accuracy, improving employee performance and overall organizational productivity. Learn more about competencies in 360 feedback.
