Do companies implement 360° performance appraisals?
Some organizations commit themselves to 360° performance appraisals. This should be done separately from the 360° assessment process. In other words, 360° assessments should not be used as part of the appraisal process. 360° appraisals are an excellent method for improving accountability and gaining better insights into strengths and vulnerabilities from the range of people who observe other’s work most directly. However, these systems require levels of commitment, honesty, and effort that are often difficult to sustain over time.
