Can the anonymity of a 360 respondents be preserved?
The reports deliberately amalgamate the feedback of the separate respondent groups, so in most cases it is not easy to tell what, for instance, an individual direct report has rated/said. However, occasionally it is possible to determine the identity of respondents (e.g. where comments enable them to be identified). The process relies on trust and respect, so it is important that you do not handle the information in such a way as to make respondents feel uncomfortable or wary of providing honest feedback in the future.
