Developing Employees with 360 Feedback – Tips & Tricks
Developing employees with 360 feedback is all about giving people a broader view of how they perform at work. Instead of relying only on a manager’s perspective, it combines feedback from colleagues, managers, and sometimes even clients or partners. This creates a fuller, more balanced picture—highlighting strengths that might otherwise go unnoticed and uncovering areas for growth. The key is to be clear about why you are using 360 feedback and which competencies are most relevant. By involving a mix of raters with different perspectives, the feedback becomes both richer and more meaningful. With The Bridge 360, organizations can make this process simple and effective: it’s online, fully customizable, and provides clear, practical reports that help employees grow and teams develop.
