The conversation that follows a 360 appraisal

Thursday, May 14, 2009 by Brendan Walsh
This blog post http://www.allthingsworkplace.com/2007/06/360_feedback_it.html came to my attention today.  Although it is from 2007 it identifies the feedback conversation as the important part of 360 degree appraisals.

We made a conscious decision about a year ago to emphasise the conversations that follow 360.  We often use a quality feedback=>meaningful conversation=>better choices=>performance improvement schematic to emphasise how 360 feedback starts a useful process.

Holding that meaningful conversation is an art - one that can be trained but one that many people do not find natural.  This blog post reminded me that we should continue to emphasise that the 360 feedback process has a purpose that is much more than completion rates and efficiency.
