Design a 360 Degree Feedback ProgramLeverage multi-rater feedback to optimize employee development.Today’s employees need more feedback than ever before to develop professionally; a well-designed 360 Degree Feedback Program is a critical building block of an organization’s talent development strategy.If feedback is vague, it will produce a “garbage in, garbage out” effect on the program, diminishing the benefits considerably.Only organizations with a strong culture of trust should embark on the 360 degree feedback process; those who do not will likely fall into the pitfalls of 360 degree feedback, never realizing the benefits.360 Degree Feedback Programs should guarantee rater confidentiality and allow the employee to own their feedback report to ensure that raters provide honest feedback.
