Sources of 360-Degree Feedback
The 360-degree feedback model gathers performance evaluations from various sources that interact with an employee. This multi-perspective assessment includes feedback from supervisors, peers, and direct reports (subordinates). It also incorporates a self-evaluation by the employee and can include input from external parties like customers to create a comprehensive performance profile.
