Survey Says 360 Degree Feedback

Content

This article focuses on a survey about the human resource management in some companies. There's no one best way to conduct 360-degree feedback programs, found a recent study by 3D Group, an HR consulting firm specializing in 360 programs. The study examined 90 large U.S. companies - including Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and Microsoft - and discovered wide variations in 360 content, selection of raters, use of feedback, administration, and more. Many companies use results from 360 programs not only for professional development but also for succession planning, training, and performance management.
