Supporting use case
360 Feedback Software
Collect feedback from managers, peers and direct reports, track who has responded, and keep the comments with the review record.
Collect feedback from managers, peers and direct reports
360° feedback is useful when a manager form is not enough — for team leads, people managers and anyone whose work is hard to see from one angle. The software part is simple: choose the respondents, send the same questions, and wait for the responses to come in.
This sits next to annual appraisal software, not instead of it. Most teams still run a yearly employee and manager review. Add 360° input where it changes the quality of the conversation.
Use reusable 360° feedback forms
Write a short, specific question set and reuse it. Long forms get abandoned. Vague forms produce vague comments. Keep questions about observed behaviour, not personality.
Start with the 360 feedback template if you want example questions for managers, peers and direct reports.
Track responses
A 360° cycle fails in the same way a spreadsheet appraisal fails: you cannot see who still owes a response. Track completion by person and by respondent so you know when the set is complete enough to share.
Optional anonymity
Peers and direct reports often write more useful comments when the response is not named in the shared report. Managers usually stay attributed. Choose anonymity per cycle, and be honest with respondents about what they can expect.
Turn feedback into a useful review record
The point of 360° feedback is not a stack of comments. It is a record the employee and manager can use: strengths that show up more than once, a development area that is specific, and a next step for the following period.
Keep that record with the appraisal, then return to Appraisal Software when you want the wider annual cycle rather than a one-off 360° request.
FAQs
- What is 360 feedback software?
- It is a way to collect structured comments from more than one person — typically a manager, peers and direct reports — and keep those responses with the review.
- Can 360° feedback be anonymous?
- Yes, where you choose it. Anonymity is optional. Use it when people need space to be specific, and keep named manager comments where accountability matters.
- Is 360° feedback the main product?
- No. Appraisal Software is annual appraisal software first. 360° feedback is available when a review needs extra input, not as a separate platform.
- Who can we collect feedback from?
- Managers, peers, direct reports and the employee themselves. You choose the respondents for each person in the cycle.
- Can we reuse the same 360° form?
- Yes. Save the question set and send it again. Start from the 360 feedback template if you do not want to write questions from scratch.
