Preferred term

360-degree appraisal  

Definition

  • The term 360-degree feedback refers to an appraisal and feedback system in which an employee (typically someone in a managerial or supervisory position) is evaluated by one or more supervisors, peers, and subordinates. These systems, sometimes called multi-source appraisals, are generally expensive, and the ratings produced by them should be used as a feedback tool only.
