A 360-degree review is a new type of employee performance review that holistically assesses an employee's performance and helps them improve going forward. The 360° review highlights what an employee is doing well and where there’s room for improvement. In a 360° review, some organizations will ask that both colleagues and managers provide unbiased and thorough feedback.
Unlike traditional employee evaluations, a 360° review considers the overall development of the employee in becoming an integral part of the team, instead of focusing on whether or not they improved based on key metrics.

A 360° review form can help create cohesion and structure in your company’s review process, as your employees will be receiving the same structured feedback. At the same time, the review form can be modified to fit the needs or requirements of different departments. It is easy to create a 360° form with our selection of pre-built templates. Our forms also allow you to make modifications each year or quarter without starting from scratch.

Most teams have their own performance criteria to evaluate employees. That said, a 360 is designed to assess multiple sides of the employee’s performance.
The questions can be grouped into various categories—for instance, leadership, ownership, communication, and results. In each category, there can be a quantitative question grading the employee on a numerical scale.
There can also be an open text field for the reviewer to add any specific examples or comments. Some popular 360° questions include:
- Does the employee take ownership of their work and responsibilities?
- Does the employee work independently and with minimal supervision?
- Does the employee communicate effectively with their peers?
- Does the employee contribute by providing meaningful insight and results to the organization?
- Does the employee demonstrate passion and engagement in their work?
- Does the employee consistently deliver on expectations?
