A 360° is one of the most popular performance assessment tools, and also one of the most challenging, requiring strong business rules and careful process management to ensure trust and confidentiality is maintained.

This is just a small example of a 360° in PQF. Customise with PQF Author so that the performance criteria reflect your organisation’s principles, and use your preferred rating scale. Request comments at any stage - on every page if you choose. Include your logo or by line.

Reports from a 360° to a ‘target’ person are usually presented in your preferred quantitative format, grouped by the relationship – peers, managers, direct reports, self rating etc-and no one person’s feedback is identified.

Confidentiality is especially important in how you chose to present reports of collated qualitative comments, often the most valuable part of a 360° report for working out how to improve performance in the light of others’ perceptions.

Aggregate results and reports for departments or work teams enable an executive to align his / her team’s performance to business goals.

The PQF suite can deliver you your complete set of 360° PQF forms, collated results and, if you choose, automated reports customised to your design.

Repeat the 360° survey 12 months later using the same PQF form – and see how 360° perceptions of performance has altered.
