The 360 degree appraisal system collects feedback on an employee from their superiors, peers, subordinates, and internal/external customers. This provides a complete picture of their performance from various perspectives. Advantages include obtaining a full performance picture and increased confidence in appraisals if ratings are consistent across evaluators. However, it can be complicated and time-consuming due to the number of evaluators involved. Anonymity and constructive feedback are also important factors to consider with this system. While comprehensive, 360 degree appraisals cannot set performance targets alone and work best as part of a broader performance management process.

The 360 degree appraisal system collects feedback on the employee (appraisee) from many sources at all different levels in the organization. Superiors, peers, subordinates, internal and external customers will all be part of the process. This system has become the preferred tool for helping employees, particularly those in supervisory roles, improve performance by gathering information on their performance from the various individuals involved with them.
360 Degree Appraisal
Advantages of 360 Degree Appraisal: 1. Since everyone who is involved with the job holder gets the opportunity to provide feedback, a complete picture of all relevant aspects of performance can be obtained. 2. If there is agreement from all the appraisers regarding an employees performance then the manager is likely to have more confidence in it than if it was from just one individual.

2. Given the sensitive nature of appraisal information, it is important that if the appraiser is not the supervisor of the employee, he/she must remain anonymous. 3. It is important that the employees are trained to focus only on constructive feedback and not to concentrate on destructive feedback.

4. While it is an excellent method for providing comprehensive performance feedback, it cannot be used by itself to set performance objectives/targets. This can only be done in an interview between employee and supervisor. Most appraisal systems include an interview between appraiser and appraisee to set objectives at the beginning and to review the objectives at the end of appraisal period as a central component of the Performance Management Process. 360 degree appraisal can be used in conjunction with this.
