Feedback from 360 Degree surveys, also known as Multi-Rater Assessments, can be the single most effective catalyst to individual growth and development when used properly.

360 Feedback Surveys can:

• foster greater individual and work group performance.
• reduce the barriers that inhabit creativity and innovation.
• promote better cooperation between individuals and operating units.
• measure individual and organizational improvements over time.
• provide cost effective feedback on a continuous basis.

Use 360 Degree Feedback to help:

• individuals improve their performance.
• organizations align the day to day performance of their people with strategic goals.
• organizations become effective -- as individuals become effective, so does the organization.

The purpose of 360 degree feedback is to help the person develop his/her effectiveness as much as possible by seeing him or herself through eyes of others. It is very difficult to know exactly how others react to the many things we say and do each day.

As part of the process, the individual asks people who are familiar with him/her --- such as manager, direct reports, peers, co-workers, team members, clients, and others --- to complete an online survey.

Perceptions 360 offers a Dual Scale multi-rater survey which gathers a full circle of ratings from various perspectives / people in order to diagnose skills and provide feedback to individuals (also referred to as "subjects" or "targets").
