360-degree Evaluation

360-degree evaluation is a system in which employees receive confidential, anonymous feedback from the people who work around them. Those who complete the survey usually include the employees manager, peers and direct reports. The subject person being rated also fills out the same evaluation about themselves. Organizations use 360-degree evaluations to get a better understanding of the employee, provide training or identify leadership potential. A personal development plan or coaching session typically follows a 360-degree assessment.
