מהו 360-Degree Feedback? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
Performance feedback gathered from an employee's manager, peers, reports and themselves.
360-degree feedback is a development method that gathers views on an employee's performance and behaviours from multiple perspectives: their manager, peers, direct reports and, sometimes, external contacts, alongside a self-assessment.
The rounded picture reveals blind spots and highlights how someone is experienced across different relationships, which a single manager's view cannot capture. It is especially useful for leadership development.
To be effective, 360 feedback should focus on development rather than pay decisions, be gathered through well-designed questions, and be followed by a supportive conversation and clear actions. Poorly handled, it can feel like an anonymous pile-on, so framing matters.
