Possible Process of a 360-Degree Feedback

1. Prepare the Questionnaire

Using the intuitive template editor, the HR department crafts the questionnaire and tailors it to the company’s branding guidelines.

2. Launch the 360-Degree Tool

Employees can initiate their 360-degree feedback process independently. They simply set up organizational data in the system beforehand, which automatically pre-fills feedback providers. Then, they select the survey period and begin.

3. Gather 360-Degree Feedback

Initially, invitations with participation links are automatically dispatched. Throughout the feedback process, automatic reminders can be sent, and adjustments can be made to participants and the survey period as needed.

4. Analyze the 360-Degree Feedback

In the individually configurable dashboard, for example, the response rate can be viewed in real-time. Once the survey period for the 360-degree feedback is over, a PDF report is made available to the feedback recipient and optionally their supervisor.

4. Follow-up Procedures

After the 360-degree feedback process is complete and valuable insights are obtained, we offer guidance on developing follow-up procedures.
