360 assessment feedback is a powerful tool that provides employees the opportunity to receive feedback across a wide range of competencies and behaviors related to their performance from not only their supervisor or manager, but also other individuals they work closely with such as: direct reports, peers, clients, collaborators, etc. By soliciting 360 assessment feedback from all those around the individual, this type of assessment captures a larger picture of the person’s overall effectiveness and performance than just a performance review by the boss. The feedback also helps an individual understand how his or her effectiveness is viewed by others and can be used to identify strengths and areas that may benefit from development.
