Because ‘he said/she said’ is for soap operas, not your talent strategy. Modern HR should spend more time on facilitating quality people decisions. Do not get busy with ‘here says’ messages or individual complaints. 360 feedback turns:
🔮 Subjective whispers → Objective insights
🗑️ Complaints → Actionable coaching plans
😤 ‘Karen from Accounting’ (very generic) → ‘Karen scores 4/10 on collaboration’ (Precise and Now that’s HR’s business!)
3 Ways 360o Feedback Upgrades HR :
Save HR from Feedback Trap
“When ‘feedback’ is just whispers in the breakroom, you’re not managing talent—you’re playing telephone.” Having regular feedback system helps elevate ‘open’ organization culture and helps channel feedback data more accurately. To ensure accurate and quality feedback flows within the organization, training and communications on providing and receiving feedback are also critical to success.
Change From ‘Opinions’ to ‘Objectivity’
For example: A high-potential employee’s peers rate their collaboration 3/10— now you have a development need, not a ‘personality clash.’
Change From ‘Complaints’ to ‘Coaching Plans’
360o Feedback Data shows blind spots in many ways, including strengths and weakness. Stats from our past project experience, 90%+ of talents embrace feedback more objectively and it is easier to turn those feedback into development plans
Feedback Data/Patterns → “Low scores on ‘active listening’ from 4 raters”
Development Plan to Fix → 3-month coaching focus on reflective questioning
