Whether you&#8217;re just starting out or you&#8217;ve been leading for years, there&#8217;s always more to learn. That&#8217;s why businesses need to embrace many types of feedback beyond traditional performance reviews, from quick check-ins to 360-degree (360\u00b0) reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>360\u00b0 reviews aren&#8217;t used as widely in the world of business when compared to the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/performance-review-guide\/\">end-of-year performance review<\/a>, but they can be a fantastic method of feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike conventional feedback, they aren&#8217;t dictated by a chain of command. Direct reports can also review their manager, or peers can review their colleagues. Feedback should come from a variety of sources from all levels of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These kinds of reviews have been widely used at leading international companies, including Google. However, you don&#8217;t need endless company resources to see their benefits. Give 360\u00b0 reviews a go with your team today, starting with our downloadable review template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a 360\u00b0 review template?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A 360\u00b0 template acts as a survey for gathering feedback on employee performance at work. When distributed to those giving feedback, team members can answer questions in relation to the individual they&#8217;re reviewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the difference between a 360\u00b0 review and a performance review?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are similarities and differences between a performance review and a 360 review. One isn\u2019t better or more important than the other. You\u2019ll need both to get the best picture of how your team is performing. Here&#8217;s how the review types differ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focuses on assessing past performance, providing a retrospective evaluation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Primarily directed at the manager and often not shared directly with the employee in its raw form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Influences evaluations that typically impact compensation or pay decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">360\u00b0 review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focuses on future growth, highlighting strengths to maintain and areas for improvement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Directed at the individual, often delivered via a coach or directly to the individual, not the manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guides learning and development opportunities, helping prioritise areas for personal and professional growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you use this 360\u00b0 feedback template?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This template is designed to transform how you gather feedback about an individual at work. Ideally you would hand out several copies of this template to different team members with a knowledge of the individual&#8217;s work performance. For example, they could be someone who worked on a project with the individual, their line manager or a direct report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the responses have been noted on the copies of this template, you can collect them and then the individual who has been reviewed can go through the results with a HR professional or their manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to repeat the feedback process in cycles, so you can track progress and see whether the feedback has been acted upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This template has been designed with multiple choice questions and identical responses, which you can collate into simple, measurable statistics. There&#8217;s also open-ended questions for more detailed written answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"787\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback4.webp\" alt=\"Alt text: &quot;A 360-degree review template with sections for date, reviewer, employee name, and job titles.

Since it&#8217;s solicited from different parts of the business, it&#8217;s easier to get a wider view of an employee&#8217;s performance in all aspects of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An employee&#8217;s manager can&#8217;t be across everything, but when you bring in the views of direct reports and peers, you get a much broader perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s if the<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/giving-feedback-to-employees\/\"> feedback is done effectively, of course<\/a>. It&#8217;s important to choose the right reviewers for 360\u00b0 feedback. They need to be relevant to the individual and have real experience of working with them. The more they know, the better feedback they can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the individual receiving this feedback, seeing the results is a key opportunity for professional development \u2013 to see where they&#8217;re doing well and where there&#8217;s room for improvement. This is only effective, of course, if the feedback is done well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to give constructive feedback to your direct reports and team members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized-1024x601.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized-1024x601.webp 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized-300x176.webp 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized-768x451.webp 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized-864x508.webp 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized-440x258.webp 440w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/07\/unnamed-5-optimized.webp 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/360-degree-feedback-guide\/\">ways to give 360\u00b0 feedback effectively<\/a>, and ways to do it ineffectively. There are a few key elements that makes for great feedback:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Always be specific<\/strong> \u2013 those being reviewed should <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/communication-in-the-workplace\/\">understand where you&#8217;re coming from<\/a>, even if they don&#8217;t fully agree. If you&#8217;re too vague, the feedback is unlikely to be helpful and may actually be misinterpreted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be balanced<\/strong> \u2013 even if the employee has plenty to work on, make sure you recognise where they&#8217;re thriving too. And that also works in reverse, so if you&#8217;re finding that you&#8217;re focusing purely on praise, still include development areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it actionable<\/strong> \u2013 you should always provide feedback that the individual can act upon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep it concise<\/strong> \u2013 don&#8217;t overwhelm the employee with huge swathes of feedback. Get to the point and stay focused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are taking the employee through their feedback survey results, whether that&#8217;s a line manager or review administrator, it&#8217;s important to give the employee a chance to respond to the 360\u00b0 feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may be able to explain crucial points of context that are missing or raise further points for discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to use a 360\u00b0 review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should use a 360\u00b0 review to help your employees develop and grow. The timing will depend on your performance management cadence but we recommend having a 360\u00b0 review annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives your employees time to implement the feedback they\u2019ve received as part of the review, while also giving you time as the manager to provide guidance and support. While you may not be the one completing the 360\u00b0 review, you should still be heavily involved in the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing will depend on how your company structures the year, but having them mid-year can help employees make the most of the second half of the year. It also ensures that a whole year\u2019s worth of strategy doesn\u2019t get wasted if the employee isn\u2019t meeting expectations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, a 360\u00b0 review should form one part of performance management, alongside weekly or fortnightly one-to-ones and regular goal-setting sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should participate in a 360\u00b0 review process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few people who should be involved in a 360\u00b0 review process to make it as robust and representative of reality as possible.<br><br>These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yourself, as the manager<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peers, as they can offer insight into the employee\u2019s teamwork<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct reports (if the employee is in a leadership role), as they can provide insight into their leadership approach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any other relevant managers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>External stakeholders (if relevant), like clients and\/or vendors the employee\u2019s worked with<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the right mix of feedback sources can help round out the review process. It\u2019s important to select participants based on how frequently they interact with the employee. You should also ensure you have a sufficient number of feedback sources (at least three) to get diverse perspectives and prevent bias from creeping in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top benefits of using a 360\u00b0 review template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a range of benefits from using a 360\u00b0 review template, as opposed to trying to start from scratch. We\u2019ve developed a 360\u00b0 review template to help you get the results you\u2019re looking for.<br><br>Key advantages of using our 360\u00b0 review template include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consistency and fairness across the company, if you need to compare employee performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ease of comparison over time, so you can track an employee\u2019s progression from one 360\u00b0 review to the next<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved feedback quality, so you can provide structured, actionable suggestions to the employee<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of a 360\u00b0 review is to empower employees to achieve their full potential within their role, rather than to discipline them. By using a templated review process, you can help fast-track your team\u2019s development and improve your company\u2019s productivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback2.webp\" alt=\"Alt text: &quot;Purple employee productivity survey with ratings for task focus and deadline adherence, ranging from never to always, including a comment box.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-49287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback2.webp 786w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback2-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback2-768x405.webp 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback2-440x232.webp 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Asking different team members about an employee\u2019s productivity can provide valuable perspective and insights&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common pitfalls of 360\u00b0 reviews and how to avoid them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While 360\u00b0 reviews can be very helpful for your business and your employees, they can also present problems if not performed correctly.<br><br>Some of the problems you might run into include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Asking vague questions that don\u2019t align with desired outcomes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biased feedback from people, leading to warped perceptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of anonymity resulting in hurt feelings or inter-personal issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lack of follow-up on the feedback provided in the 360\u00b0 review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the most out of a 360\u00b0 review, the employee should be given the chance to respond to the feedback provided during the session. You should also look to schedule regular follow-ups between the employee and those involved in the 360\u00b0 review.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linking KPIs or OKRs to the feedback provided in the session can also encourage meaningful buy-in and follow-up, rather than letting the feedback provided in the session fall on deaf ears. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a 360\u00b0 review relies on the investment from everyone involved, so make sure it\u2019s part of a wider performance management process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/360\u00b0-feedback3.webp\" alt=\"Purple graphic with a header labeled &quot;Development Opportunities&quot; and a question asking about areas for employee improvement.

Are you a company that prioritises innovation and flexibility? Your 360\u00b0 reviews should reflect this and may involve gathering feedback from all levels of the company. Your company\u2019s values should also reflect the questions that are being asked within the review and how findings are actioned upon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By aligning your review process with your values, you can strengthen your company\u2019s culture. You can also ensure&nbsp; everyone\u2019s aligned on what goals you\u2019re working towards in the short, medium and long-term future. Evaluating performance based on your company\u2019s values also ensures people are (and remain) cultural and performance-based fits for your company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centering your values makes them part of every conversation within your company, so those values are a driving force when employees are looking to improve their performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your employees can look to your company\u2019s values to assess themselves then it\u2019s more likely they\u2019ll take on the feedback provided within the 360\u00b0 review.

So it&#8217;s important that managers get (and act on) feedback too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One large aspect of a manager&#8217;s role is likely to take precedence in reviews, and that&#8217;s their people leadership skills. Reviews should principally cover their approaches in dealing with people and problems, as well as their clarity of communication and ability to motivate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to also evaluate managers in how they give feedback themselves and whether they&#8217;ve facilitated growth amongst their direct reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get started with your 360-degree feedback survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to unleash your team\u2019s potential, and build new feedback channels in your business? <strong>Download our template today and begin the 360<\/strong>\u00b0<strong> review process.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget, you can also use 91±¬ΑΟ to facilitate further growth opportunities, whether that&#8217;s through regular daily feedback or an end of year performance review.
