A Process Of Employee’s Performance Appraisal

Reviewing the performance can be source of anxiety for employees and managers. Employees want to ensure that they get feedback about their performance and behavior from a variety of people like supervisor, subordinates, peers, customers, etc., they work with. And managers want to ensure that the feedback is fair, comprehensive and actionable. The 360 performance review is a cumbersome process which involves sending out forms, following up to make sure feedback comes in, collating all the input and trying to put it all together in a meaningful manner.

Certain reports have suggested that the employees are not encouraged discussing their career and development needs with their line managers.  A similar proportion indicates that the employees don’t receive regular feedback on their performance or have an annual appraisal. These reviews are not designed to function as performance reviews. But it helps people develop business and interpersonal skills. It focuses on three key things in a feedback. One, identifying a starting point for development of new skills. Two, measuring progress as the subject works on skills over time. They are professional feedback tool designed to help everyone in an organization to develop their personal skills. While a standard review is about the job an employee is doing, a 360 review is about the employee themselves. Therefore, it becomes very personal and powerful tool. In 360 degree survey, you get the combined perspective of a manager and several peers about the team work, communication, leadership [potential and management skills of an employee. The raters are asked to rate and comment the professional skills and team impact of an employee.

The goal of 360 degree performance review is to provide feedback that will actually help the employee improve and focus their long-term career development. The combined perspective helps to create balance among the different perspectives and to create a clear picture for the employee about their behavior, impact and skills. Many organizations feel that they lack the time and infrastructure to collect regular feedback from their employees, especially in the current economic climate. Encouraging personal development through 360 feedbacks is the foundation for a successful and growing business.
