After reading this blog entitled “360 Degree Reviews” by Jim Estill at CEO Blog – Time Leadership, we thought that this would be an interesting topic to further elaborate on. In the original blog, Jim briefly highlights how he conducts the reviews for his company, so we thought we’d give more insight into how and why do 360 degree reviews.

First off, let’s talk about what a 360 degree review is. It is an appraisal technique that uses raters that are all around the employee that is being evaluated. This includes supervisors, subordinates, peers, and internal and external customers – all the people that the appraisee interacts with.

As Jim stated in the blog, he emails everyone who interacts with the person being reviewed for 3 things they are doing well and anything they could improve on, and then takes all the feedback to create a review. One of the major benefits of this appraisal system is it enhances the perception of fairness.
