360 Degree Feedback and Development
Duration: 2 days full time
Overview:
360 degree appraisals are a powerful developmental method and quite different to traditional manager-employee appraisals. As such a 360 degree process does not replace the traditional one-to-one process, it augments it and can be used as a highly effective, stand-alone employee development method.
As a system the 360 feedback is a performance and / or training needs appraisal process that gathers feedback on an individual from a number of sources, typically including colleagues, direct reports and line managers. It is not unusual for a 360 degree feedback form to take the nature of a skills and competency based questionnaire.
A good 360 degree feedback program should always be supported by a clear development and individual performance coaching plan; ensuring that the employee has a clear understanding and ‘buy in’ as to their development journey, their managers role in their personal development plan and the organizational coaching resources available to them.
