Thomas 360 Degree Feedback Questionnaire (View sample)
 
360 degree feedback is a process that enables people to gather performance feedback from those they work with and compare it with their own perception of their performance.  It has also been defined as the “systematic collection and feedback of performance data on an individual or group, derived from a number of the stakeholders in their performance”.

Online 360 degree feedback tools are a fast and effective way to carry out a review. With Thomas’ 360 degree feedback, the participant (the person who is the subject of the 360 degree review ), nominates a minimum of 6 respondents to give feedback about a set of competencies.  This minimum is needed so that feedback is anonymous. Respondents can be their line managers, peers, team members or even customers and client. The participant drives the process by nominating respondents who will then receive an email.

The 360 degree feedback questionnaire
 
The 360 degree feedback questionnaire comprises three main parts:
  • Statements which need to be rated on a scale of 1 – 7: “1 – does not do this” to “7 – does this a great deal”. The respondent also has the opportunity to tick a box entitled “not observed” if they have not been in a position to observe the participant behaving in this way.
  • Competencies to rank in order of priority for the role.
  • Free narrative
There are 2 questionnaires currently available: the Leadership feedback questionnaire and Sales questionnaire.
 
The leadership feedback questionnaire can be used to give comprehensive and inclusive feedback to develop the skills you need to be successful in leadership, managerial and other professional roles.
 
The sales 360 degree feedback questionnaire is purely in the context of a field selling role.
 
The 360 degree feedback questionnaire is competency based. Each question relates to a particular competency. However, the questions presented on the questionnaire are in totally random order and the various competencies are mixed. The competencies are listed on a separate page to the questions and they ask the respondent to list how important they are for the job in question.

Can anyone use it?
Yes, it is equally applicable to small organisations as to large.
 
How will online 360 degree feedback tools help my business?
As the invited feedback comes from direct reports, peers, colleagues and managers it is an objective process to enhance the awareness of one’s strengths and potential development opportunities, which will in turn increase personal or team effectiveness.
 
When is a good time to complete a 360 degree feedback questionnaire?
If you are running a leadership or management development programme, Thomas360 is a great self awareness tool to use prior to commencing the programme. Similarly, a 360 review can add another dimension to an appraisal or performance review.
 
Should Thomas360 be linked to an appraisal?
The 360 degree feedback questionnaire can be used in conjunction with an appraisal to give the individual a more comprehensive view of their performance.
 
How is 360 degree feedback different from personality and behavioural assessment?
Personality and behavioural assessment measures behavioural preferences, how you are likely to behave, whilst 360 measures competence and explains how you actually behave.  The two combined provide a powerful resource for both individuals and organisations.
 
Is it confidential?
Yes. The respondent’s names do not appear on the report so the feedback remains anonymous.
 
How often should 360 degree feedback take place?
Typically every 6 – 12 months should be sufficient, to give employees sufficient opportunity to agree and implement their personal development plans.
 
How quickly do I get the results?
Once all the respondents have completed the questionnaire a report is generated in seconds.
