360 Degree Feedback

Enabling a consistent and repeatable process for multisource assessments, employee performance evaluations and feedback is challenging for many organizations. The process itself is complex because it can involve feedback from numerous constituents – internal peers as well as external sources such as partners and customers – that must be efficiently aggregated and analyzed. Additionally, many organizations tend to use 360 degree feedback surveys as a measure of employee performance and not competence and development, thus creating friction between management and employees.

SumTotal 360 Degree Feedback automates the competency-based multisource assessment process to facilitate employee development planning. Built on the industry’s most complete talent management platform, SumTotal 360 Feedback enables you to:

Drive employee development and growth by triangulating competency feedback from multiple internal and external sources and linking it to development planning
Reduce the time and effort of conducting multisource reviews by automating rater nominations, feedback forms, data collection and analysis, and report generation
Improve employee engagement and productivity by providing development recommendations, identification of unrealized strengths, and year-over-year progress metrics
