The reason for introducing 360 degree evaluation is to enhance self awareness among employees. Another reason is to imply that the responsibility of imparting feedback should not be limited to the immediate senior or manager only, but should include other people as well. That is why the subordinates, colleagues, managers, supervisors, clients, juniors, everybody equally participates in the evaluation. The idea behind involving all these people is to enhance the spirit of teamwork and coordination. 360 degree evaluation can also help the management at the time of appraisal. By analyzing the information collected through the evaluation, management people can determine the performance levels of their employees. With the help of this data, they can award appraisals to the eligible employees and can make provision for the training of those who lack in skills and performance, accordingly.

For conducting this type of all round survey successfully and smoothly, the support of the management and seniors is of utmost important, as they are the ones who can facilitate the whole process. Also, the feedback should be based on professional conduct and performance only, rather than personal grudges. Every employee should give an honest and credible feedback, which can help an employee to improve himself, rather than making him feel discouraged or de-motivated. Knowing and accepting what your subordinates, seniors and juniors, think about you is the first step towards being a proficient employee and a better human being.
