360° Feedback is a proven method of helping individuals review their performance through the eyes of their working colleagues.

Firstly you must identify the key assessment issues which will make up the online 360 feedback form. We have ready made forms you can adapt or we can work with a form you have already chosen.

Each participant then selects a number of working colleagues to provide feedback for them. We will need their name, email address and category e.g. Manager, Colleague, Team Member. Each nominated person is then emailed guidance notes and a link to the online form. They then provide their feedback using a simple rating scale mechanism as well as providing constructive comments about the individual's performance.

The feedback is then summarised and collated for the individual as a series of 360 Feedback Reports. Each report is designed to emphasise a different aspect of the feedback e.g. Strengths, Development Areas, Opinion Differences. Reports can either be printed and bound or emailed as PDF files.

Once the individual has received the report they are in a position to identify which behaviours are seen as in need of improvement and to choose appropriate development actions.

360 Feedback is often used as a support aid for management development training. Managers can use the 360 report to focus on areas of the course which have been highlighted by colleagues.

360° Feedback is also highly effective as a self development tool as it provides managers with key information which they would otherwise find hard to obtain.

RMS have been assisting organisations to run their 360° projects since 1990 and have experience in many projects ranging in scope from just a few key staff to many thousands within a global corporation.

We have also developed an extensive network of Support Consultants who can help you deliver the feedback to managers if required. If you are interested in these services we would simply put you in contact with a local consultant with relevant experience.
