360 degree feedback, also known as multi-rater feedback, is a system in which anonymous feedback is gathered about a member of staff from various people they have working relationships with. This is usually their managers, peers, direct reports, subordinates – hence the name “360 degree”.
Positive Peer Feedback This person does a great job of making sure everyone is heard. Even with lots of voices in the room, I never feel dismissed or unheard.
So, for your feedback to be constructive without making things awkward, you can follow these steps: Be empathetic. The most important thing when giving feedback is to consider the receiving employee's reaction. Consider your position. Be objective. Include positive feedback. Constructive criticism. Give examples.
During the feedback process: Make it a two-way conversation and encourage questions. Remember that there are positives and negatives to each piece of feedback. Be objective, genuine, and non-judgmental. Use behavioral examples and refer to job context – and be specific.
Be concise and specific Rein in your impulses to be laconic or verbose and instead, be absolutely specific. Answering feedback based on the questions asked allows recipients to understand the cause behind the feedback as well as understand it better.

360 Degree Feedback Examples for Collaboration “Tom consistently offers to help with tasks outside of his responsibilities, showcasing his commitment to the team.” “Lily could improve her collaboration by actively seeking input from others and incorporating their ideas.”
A 360 performance review measures employee performance typically using feedback from six to 12 people. It also includes an employee self-evaluation to provide a comprehensive look at an employee's efficiency, productivity, contributions and work behavior.
Research indicates that the accuracy of a 360 review is significantly influenced by how long the rater has known the employee being evaluated. Reviews are generally accurate for employees known for “one to three years,” but those known for less than a year or for a very long time tend to receive less accurate feedback.
How to conduct 360 reviews Establish criteria for rating each employee. Invest time into developing useful, relevant questions that provide valuable insight. Choose who will assess each employee. Send surveys. Send the survey to the employee. Schedule the 360 evaluation. Review ratings with employee. Follow up on progress.
