One highly effective tool for development is 360-degree feedback. It offers participants valuable insights into how their skills are perceived by their manager, colleagues, subordinates, and other relevant stakeholders.
By comparing their self-perception with the perspectives of others, they gain a more comprehensive and well-rounded understanding of their strengths and areas for development.
Typically, 360-degree feedback involves a confidential online survey assessing an individual’s level of skill. Alternatively an experienced coach may conduct confidential interviews with key stakeholders to provide personalised insights.

Organisations invest in 360-degree feedback to empower their people by:
