Simplify Reviews With 360 Feedback Software

360-degree feedback software is a tool that collects performance feedback from an employee's coworkers, managers, and direct reports. It helps provide a complete view of an employee's strengths and areas for improvement.

Using 360-degree feedback software offers several main benefits. It provides a well-rounded view of an employee's performance, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, encourages open communication, and helps with personal self-awareness and professional development. Concerns about bias are reduced because feedback comes from multiple sources.

The difference between a performance review and 360-degree feedback is that a performance review is typically done by a manager, while 360-degree feedback includes input from coworkers, managers, and direct reports.

PerformYard’s 360 feedback software is better than competitors because it simplifies the employee review process with an easy-to-use, interactive platform. It automates workflows, supports ongoing real-time feedback and goal tracking, and offers total flexibility with customizable stages and anonymous feedback options. Plus, you get free access to our unlimited human customer support.

PerformYard is designed as a complete performance management toolkit, integrating 360 reviews with other core features like goal management, continuous feedback, and check-ins. While the platform offers robust, customizable tools for 360 reviews, it is sold as a comprehensive system, not as a singular, standalone 360-review module. That said, customers can choose to only use the platform for 360 reviews if they so choose.

Yes, reviews can be submitted anonymously in PerformYard, particularly for 360-degree feedback and Employee Engagement Surveys. Administrators have the control to "redact" the author's name on review forms, displaying it as "Anonymous" to the review subject and their manager, which promotes candid feedback. Additionally, the Engagement Surveys feature is designed to be completely anonymous to encourage honest employee participation.

Yes, you can certainly assign a group of people to review one person using the 360-degree review functionality within PerformYard. The platform allows administrators or managers to assign multiple authors to a single person's review form or cycle, effectively creating a multi-rater review. This group of reviewers can be selected individually, nominated by the subject or manager, or designated as "Direct Reports" of the person being reviewed.
