360 degree Performance Appraisal

The 360 degree Performance Appraisal feedback and sometimes simply called 360 feedback, is a performance appraisal system that gathers feedback on an individual from a number of sources; including colleagues, direct managers and even customers. The supporters of 360 degree appraisal claim that this gives managers and co- workers better information about skills and performance, as well as work relations, as compared to the traditional appraisal system that is based on line managers’ assessment.

The popularity and growth of the 360 degree performance appraisal is not shocking. When carried out correctly, 360 degree performance appraisals are inexpensive, constructive and they boost productivity.

360 Degree Performance Appraisal feedback helps every person in the organisation to understand their strengths and improve their weaknesses.
