Frequently Asked Questions 360-Degree Feedback Survey

The 360-degree feedback survey is purpose-designed to assess managers and how they’re perceived by fellow peers, direct reports, and leadership. 

 

As managers engage with various teams and individuals throughout an organisation, a 360 feedback survey is essential to identifying where managers are excelling in their roles and where they could make improvements. This supports an efficient, engaged, and cohesive workplace environment, both within the teams managers look after and across the organisation as a whole. 

As 360-degree feedback surveys focus on those primarily within management roles, the survey itself is designed to be filled out by the manager’s peers (such as other fellow managers), their direct reports (their team members), as well as higher level management and leadership. As the name suggests, a 360-degree survey aims to gain a clear insight of how people feel about a manager’s performance and management style from all possible perspectives.

 

Managers play an important role in keeping teams aligned and ensuring set goals and milestones are achieved throughout the year. These surveys can assess several aspects of a manager’s personality, performance and work within the organisation, including:

  • Their personal qualities
  • Their ability to inspire a shared vision among their team and others
  • Their ability to deliver desired results
  • Their willingness to focus on the needs of clients/customers
  • Their willingness to challenge the status quo if it’s not working
  • How well they value people on their team and across the broader organisation
  • The effort they put in to develop themselves, team members, and others
  • How well they communicate and get everyone on the same page towards achieving objectives

The key objective of a 360-degree survey is to gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of a manager’s performance from multiple points of view. By engaging with direct reports, fellow managers, and upper-leadership, the feedback you’ll receive from a 360-degree feedback survey arms you with a more balanced view of how your managers are performing.

 

This enables you to identify their strengths and areas of improvement with greater confidence as the information isn’t just limited to one or two people’s perspectives. With the findings you gain from the survey, you’ll be better equipped to sit down with respective managers and let them know where things currently stand and the actionable steps both they and the company at large can take to help them address any blind spots.

 

The purpose of a 360-degree survey is not to make management or leadership feel self-critical or as though they’re lacking in capabilities, but to help them lean into their strengths and take meaningful steps where improvements could be made. The end result is a company with more focused and knowledgeable managers who grow and improve for their teams and peers.

When you want to run a 360-degree feedback survey, it’s best to engage with a professional third-party survey provider who can offer guidance and advice on how to position your survey and the most important questions to ask. On top of this, working with a third-party provider means your employees can feel confident in knowing their feedback will be 100% anonymous so they can offer genuine, meaningful feedback.


If you’re looking for a provider, Your Say can help. Our services were established to help businesses conduct affordable and insightful surveys that can drive actionable change among management both in the short- and long-term. We’ll help you craft the 360 survey structure and ensure the questions that matter the most are included. We’ll then create the survey, provide the relevant staff with access, and collate the results into a report that provides clear steps that can be acted upon by managers and the company.

While some may think that a 360-degree feedback survey is comparable to a performance review, there are significant differences between the two. 360-degree surveys serve a more holistic purpose whereas performance reviews are focused on an individual and whether their performance is meeting desired KPI’s and performance milestones. 

 

Some of the key differences to keep in mind between the two include:

  • Feedback sources
    • 360-degree: Involves Input from peers, direct reports, other managers and top-level managers, and leadership.
    • Performance review: Typically involves input mainly from the manager’s own direct manager/top-level manager or leadership.
  • Purpose
      • 360-degree: Commonly focus on factors such as the manager’s behaviour, collaboration, soft skills, and self-awareness.
      • Performance review: More so focused on evaluating achievement against KPIs, goals, and job expectations.
  • Tone & framing
      • 360-degree: The survey is development-focused, non-judgmental, and used for professional growth.
      • Performance review: Typically more evaluative, formal, and tied to ratings or compensation decisions.
  • When they’re used
      • 360-degree: Can be used at different times of the year as needed or as part of leadership development programs.
      • Performance review: These are often handled on an annual basis as part of formal HR processes.
  • Employee involvement
    • 360-degree: Involves a high degree of involvement from employees of varying levels and can include self-assessment and reflection from the manager.
    • Performance review: Mostly led by top-level management and/or leadership, with input from the employee being reviewed afterwards.
