Follow-up

Every few months conduct follow-up meetings with participants. Review and discuss their progress in accomplishing their developmental goals.

When implementing 360-degree feedback it is important to communicate that it will be administered regularly. A one-time exercise is less likely to be viewed as accurate and fair. Furthermore, conducting 360-degree feedback over time will provide employees with comparative data that will highlight their progress and encourage their development.

Here are two major factors that will make your organization’s 360-degree feedback initiatives effective: solid commitment to employee development and post-assessment follow-ups.
