This slide showcases the process through which 360-degree feedback takes place in an organization. The steps involved in it are: Communicating about feedback, selecting raters, circulating surveys, completing questionnaires, producing reports, facilitating feedback, implementing development plan, and re-evaluating.

Instructor’s Notes:

Following are the steps involved in 360-degree feedback:

• Communicating about Feedback: Firstly, the process, purpose, and method of collecting and using 360-degree feedback should be communicated to all stakeholders. These could be the administrator, manager, team members, clients, and subordinates
• Selecting Raters: A critical part of the 360-degree feedback process, selecting raters will depend on the employee's job roles and professional relationships. Enough feedback providers should be chosen to ensure the data is relevant and comprehensive
• Circulating Surveys: The next step involves distributing the questionnaires through online/offline mode. Participants should be given instructions on starting and completing the whole feedback survey
• Completing Questionnaires: Having participants fill out and complete the review can take up to 2-4 weeks in the 360-degree feedback process. This step's duration can vary depending on the number of raters involved and the employees’ role. So, deadlines must be established to ensure all raters have completed their survey on time
• Producing Reports: Once all feedback responses are collected from the participants, a report is produced. Which could be sent directly to the participants or communicated via a one-on-one feedback session 
• Facilitating Feedback: Arranging confidential feedback meetings should be emphasized on, as it ensures greater understanding of the feedback report and an opportunity to discuss areas of strength and improvement
• Implementing Development Plan: Constructing development plan for each participant during the review is the essence of 360-degree feedback. Employee would be able to identify and work on their critical areas for improvement with the help of coaching, workshops, mentoring, etc., based on the results of 360-degree feedback
• Re-evaluating: 360-degree feedback is an ongoing process rather than a one-off event. It should be communicated at the start of the process about subsequent reviews that will take place. Re-evaluating participants helps check for any changes that may have occurred, and provides an opportunity for fresh feedback

Slide 5

This slide lists best practices to ensure that 360 degree feedback takes place efficiently. These are: Choose the focus areas, create a feedback culture, follow-up with employees, focus on team development, standardize feedback execution, and ensure anonymity and confidentiality.

Instructor’s Notes:

Following are the best practices to ensure efficiency in 360 degree feedback:

• Choose the Focus Areas: A 360 degree feedback will be able to provide useful insights only if it is centered around an objective. The organization needs to identify and prioritize feedback objectives, such as the need to motivate employees or to improve internal communication
• Create a Feedback Culture: A 360-degree feedback culture should be nurtured as it ensures that the employees and employers can learn new things and improve their skills
• Follow-Up with the Employees: Only gathering 360-degree feedback and not acting upon it just wastes organizational resources. Feedback should be shared with employees, and an action plan should be developed and implemented with follow-up. This aids in comparing the new and old performances
• Focus on Team Development: Multi-rater feedback ensures that employees can be held accountable as they can share their input on each coworker's performance. When the focus is kept on the team's overall performance, communication across the department will improve, and everybody works towards a unified goal
• Standardize Feedback Execution: The ideal time for conducting 360-degree feedback could differ from organization to organization (quarterly or bi-annually), and the organization should identify the optimal period for doing so. More frequent and a long gap in between makes it difficult to track growth and progress, and its effectiveness will be lost
• Ensure Anonymity and Confidentiality: Employees will provide honest feedback, only if they believe it will be kept private. This would, in turn, affect the whole review process of 360-degree feedback. Thus, anonymity and confidentiality are a requisite

• Reduced discrimination and risk of bias: 360 Degree feedback involves reviews from many individuals across job roles according to their performance and work ethics. This diminishes discrimination based on age, race, gender, etc. that might be prevailing in the organization
