This document discusses 360-degree appraisals. It defines 360-degree appraisal as a performance evaluation process that utilizes feedback from various sources an employee interacts with, including supervisors, peers, subordinates, and customers. This provides a more well-rounded view of an employee's performance compared to evaluations from just one source. The benefits listed are improving self-awareness, identifying strengths and areas for development, and improving relationships, productivity, and organizational culture through honest feedback. Potential drawbacks include the possibility of dishonest, conflicting, or intimidating feedback that makes the evaluation complex to analyze.
