The main objective of this survey is to clearly understand other employees’ views about target employee’s performance. At the end of the form an opportunity is given to all to give some comments. Earlier the employee review was performed solely by manager or supervisor of the company but this method is entirely different. 360 degree survey uses all the information from vendors, managers, peers to give complete 360 degree review of target employee. This method has several benefits like it gives an insight of employee’s weaknesses and flaws and allows them to improve for a better future. This survey has to be designed by using attributes which are very important for your company and also relevant to the development of employees.

360 degree survey should be avoided at the time of busy season. The effectiveness of this process increases rapidly when the employees create development plan and from his supervisor he gets regular reports. Always remember that this survey is just a means for change. The factors behind real improvement in performance of employees are coaching, follow up and goal setting.
