360 feedback software helps businesses conduct 360 reviews, which involves gathering feedback from employees, their managers, and their direct reports.
This software is used during performance review cycles to streamline feedback collection from people at all levels of an organization. Reviewers can share information about job performance, communication style, or overall work experience regarding a peer or manager.
These tools are typically used by a company’s HR department, which distributes the 360 surveys to teams throughout the organization. The software helps employers and leaders understand employee sentiment on various topics, including workplace diversity, manager competence, and team members who deserve recognition. These tools can assist the entire team in improving by offering perspectives employees may not always share during the normal course of business.
Many 360 feedback solutions can be integrated with email software to facilitate the distribution of surveys. For more products with more robust performance management features, the performance management systems category includes 360 reviews as well as 1:1 meetings, goal setting, and career management.
Note: Products can’t be in both 360 feedback software and performance management systems.
To qualify for inclusion in the 360 Feedback category, a product must:
Manage feedback exchanges between managers, employees, and peers
Provide feedback assessments via a survey platform
Allows users to create customized questions and templates
Store historical appraisal data for analysis and reporting
