We were delighted to run this session for the third time on Wednesday; thanks again for all those who attended and expressed an interest in our thoughts on 360 feedback.

As ever, we are really interested to understand how people are using 360 degree appraisal in their organisations, their good and not so good experiences, and their desire to conduct the process again with a keen eye on 'best practice'.

The session provided ample opportunity for attendees to discuss their experiences within groups, as well as exploring a 'real' 360 degree feedback report which highlighted the need to ensure the face-to-face debrief with a recipient was well prepared for.

Some questions raised and answered were, 'What sort of rating scale should I use?', 'How can ensure recipients don't just select their friends as respondents?, and 'When is the best time to share the report?'.

It was very enjoyable and interesting to have proper debate around the different schools of thought and approaches; 360 degree feedback practice, as with many things, is a broad church and pragmatism should help rule the day.

We will be running a session again later in the Autumn; please contact us if interested in attending, and we look forward to seeing some more of you in due course.
