360° Review Process

Why Invest in a 360° Review

A 360° review is a powerful development tool that provides individuals with well-rounded, constructive feedback from multiple perspectives. Unlike traditional reviews that typically reflect only a manager’s point of view, a 360° review gathers insights from peers, direct reports, and managers (and boards or councils), offering a more complete picture of performance, behavior, and impact. This process can be instrumental in identifying both strengths and areas for growth that may otherwise go unnoticed.
