360 degree feedback is a process that enables people to gather performance feedback from those they work with and compare it with their own perception of their performance.
You can be asked to complete Thomas360 as either a participant or a respondent.
The participant is the person who is the subject of the 360 assessment, on whom the feedback is collected. They need to nominate a minimum of 6 respondents to give feedback on their competences (this minimum is needed so that feedback can be anonymous). Respondents can be a line manager, peer, team members, customer or even a client. Once chosen the respondents receive an email login to complete the questionnaire.
The participant completes the questionnaire in relation to their self perception and the respondents complete it in relation to their perception of the respondent.
Thomas360 is an online questionnaire (although it can be printed off in hard copy). The questionnaire uses a rating scale for statements on a scale of 1-7. “1 - does not do this” to “7 – does this a great deal”. Respondents also have the option of ticking a box called ‘not observed’ if they have either not been in a position to observe the participant behaving in this way of if this competence is not relevant for their job role.
It is confidential, the respondents names do not appear on the report so feedback is anonymous.
