FAQ
A structured process that gathers confidential feedback on an individual’s behaviour and impact from the people around them — managers, peers, direct reports and sometimes clients — to build a rounded, honest picture.
Typically eight to twelve, across a mix of relationships — enough for balanced, anonymous feedback without overloading raters or the individual.
Yes. Individual responses are anonymised and aggregated so people can be candid, and results are shared through a supportive, facilitated conversation.
We strongly recommend keeping 360 feedback developmental. Linking it to pay or ratings undermines the honesty that makes it valuable.
