360 degree feedback is helpful for companies of all sizes and is primarily used for leadership and employee development.
Typical 360 degree feedback examples include: To enable the creation of personal development plans for leaders To further develop skilled workers To select those that would benefit from specific training To identify the right candidates within internal recruitment To monitor the impact of development activities or training courses
It is important to understand that 360 degree surveys should not be used during a crisis or shortly before a new appointment is made. At these points there is a heightened risk that any feedback provided will not be representative. Additionally, small teams are unsuitable for anonymous surveys as respondents can be easily identified through their answers.
