360 degree feedback software helps you to develop and engage your talent by automating one of the best practices in performance management: continuous feedback.
Did you know that nearly 60% of employees in a PwC survey said that they would like feedback on a daily or weekly basis? And that number that increased to 72% for employees under age 30. If you're not offering a system to support continuous feedback you're ignoring a crucial stepping stone to developing a self-sufficient, productive and engaged team. In fact, a third of full-time employees would prefer to receive more feedback - not less.
360 degree feedback (also called a 360 review) is a simple process of asking for insight on your work from a cross-functional group of colleagues, juniors, seniors and even clients that you collaborate with on a regular basis. It's straightforward in theory, but without a clear process and an automated cycle behind your feedback gathering your results will be inconsistent and useless to employee development.
How 360 degree feedback software can help
Even if you've got a good system going of regularly giving and asking for feedback among the team, it's a nightmare to try to keep track of that data and your performance over time. That's where a 360 degree feedback process can take your continuous feedback process to the next level. Using feedback software will give you invaluable insight into long-term trends in performance that lead to more strategic decision making, more targeted employee development conversations, and better leadership skills.
Whether you're new to 360 degree feedback software or you're looking to upgrade your outdated platform for something more intuitive, PeopleGoal's flexible solutions have you covered. A feedback system that enhances the performance evaluations for human resources is an extremely useful tool that can highlight the strengths and weaknesses of a team.
Customizable 360 degree feedback workflows
Automate your 360 workflows with our powerful Relationships function that connects any two users beyond the traditional manager/direct report line. Or give talent the opportunity to request their own feedback from peers, with input from their supervisor.
Build calculations straight into the form! Ratings are helpful to benchmark performance, and weightings add that extra level of specificity needed when assessing competencies across different job families.
Custom 360 review reporting
Most 360 degree feedback software providers hold your data hostage and only give you access to in-house reports or charge for expensive upgrades. We make every single data point available to you any time you need it. Use this to build custom charts in-app, or hook up PeopleGoal to business intelligence tools using our easy integrations.
Capture anonymous feedback
And what if you want your feedback to be anonymous? Easy! Just send the webform link to your feedback provider and their submission will be 100% anonymous - even to us. They won't need to create a PeopleGoal account or log in to any portal at all, so you can also use this option for external client feedback. Especially when you're getting started with 360 feedback, having an anonymous option reassures teammates of confidentiality and builds trust in the process.
