Employee/Supervisor Reviews (Current) –
Overall Review of this System:
u As you can see from the Pros and Cons breakdown, this system does a great
job of allowing the individual the freedom to speak and be heard, as well as
measure personal growth and whether one meets their organization’s goals.
u Having two sources is great, but additional sources would not only help the
employee grow but allow a fuller perspective of such topics like
communication and collaboration and teamwork.
u All in all, I believe we have a good system. However, the fact that the reviews
don’t go past the immediate supervisor and almost seem to not matter tells
me we could do something better. Perhaps even meeting with the Athletic
Director or something to go over reviews (good or bad) in addition to
(sometimes) meeting with our supervisor to discuss the review.
The 360-Degree Employee Review –
An Alternate Form of Employee Evaluation:
u The 360-degree model for employee evaluation can be quite similar to the
Employee/Supervisor review model in terms of review criteria, however, it
has one BIG difference.
u 360-degree feedback provides each employee with performance feedback
from his or her supervisor AND peers, reporting staff members, coworkers,
and customers, in addition to a self assessment.
u By allowing the employee the opportunity to get feedback from MULTIPLE
sources, the employee (and organization) may have a better idea as to the
full scope of employee interactions and employee productivity, day-to-day
operations, and teamwork skills.

Comparing the Two –
Employee/Supervisor Review vs 360-Degree Approach
u While both systems take input from multiple sources, the 360-degree
approach clearly does this better with reviews from not just employee and
supervisor, but from coworkers, peers, customers, and more.
u The 360-degree approach also allows for greater team building and
collaboration focus, but the employee/supervisor method we utilize allows
for a greater focus on the individual and their personal goals and growth.
u While both are subjective in nature, the 360-degree approach takes this to
another level allowing input from so many different people which could be
detrimental to employee relationships, moral, and company culture.
u The 360-degree approach also requires a lot more time and utilization of
company resources to monitor, collect, and review input from all the
different sources. Multiplied by every individual in the organization, this can
be an incredibly daunting and costly endeavor.
In Conclusion –
The winner? It depends.
