360-degree instruments are questionnaires that request feedback on a person from, typically, their peers, their reports and their manager. They can also extend outside of the organization to include feedback from suppliers and customers.
Used typically in the development process, the results from 360-degree questionnaires help to show the individual how others see them and rate their performance and skills. The individual is also asked to complete the questionnaire themselves, thus providing a self-assessment.
SHL’s 360-degree instruments include the Perspectives on Management Competencies (PMC) as well as the online 360-degree system that can hold an organizations own competency model and related development advice, Development Solutions.
