About Surveys

A 360 evaluation is a technique used to gather information about an individual from all around them.  This is usually done through a survey.  The same survey is distributed to people with different relations to the individual.  For example, the feedback would come from subordinates, peers, and managers in the organizational hierarchy.  It is also common to obtain a self-assessment from the individual.  It is called a 360 Evaluation because the feedback comes from all-around the individual.

This is helpful because some individuals can be two-faced, and act and behave on one way to those above them, and completely different to those underneath them. With a 360 Evaluation, you can determine what different levels feel about the individual and get a better perspective of the whole picture.  Qualtrics surveys are great for doing 360-Evaluations and provide great reporting tools so you can easily understand what the feedback is saying.
