What is 360 Degree Feedback in Zoho People?<\/h2>\n

360 Degree Feedback collects performance input from everyone who works closely with an employee: their direct manager (top-down), their peers (lateral), their direct reports if any (bottom-up), and occasionally external stakeholders like clients. The result is a comprehensive, multi-angle view of how the employee performs and collaborates.<\/p>\n

This is more informative than a traditional manager-only review, which can be subject to individual bias. Multiple data points from different perspectives produce a more balanced and accurate assessment.<\/p>\n

How it works in Zoho People<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The appraisal cycle is configured to include a 360 feedback round.<\/li>\n
  2. The system notifies selected reviewers (peers, subordinates) to complete a structured feedback form.<\/li>\n
  3. Responses are typically anonymous to encourage honest feedback.<\/li>\n
  4. The feedback is aggregated and presented to the manager and HR as part of the appraisal record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Development use vs evaluative use<\/h2>\n

    360 feedback works best as a development tool \u2014 helping employees understand how their behaviour is perceived \u2014 rather than as the sole basis for compensation decisions. Organisations that use it purely as a rating input often see political gaming of the feedback process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
