    Template with Step by Step Instructions to Help Reviewers Give 360 Feedback

    Setting up and managing a 360 review programme in any organisation is a complex process and in our experience, it can feel a bit overwhelming for HR Leaders and 360 Review programme managers as they navigate their way through implementing every step.

Helping teams to understand how well communication is working within the group, how effectively people are supporting each other, identifying potential peer-matches for coaching and knowledge sharing are just some ways in which the power of 360 can be leveraged on a collective basis.

Even if you are a team who are frontline and less impacted by the shift in working practices, you will have fewer face to face interactions with some colleagues, partner teams, customer groups or corporate functions who have had to work from home. A sense of team cohesion, identity and belonging, collaboration, communication and inclusion are more important than ever. In this piece we consider how 360 can help us be more effective in these disrupted times.…
