Hi Neha,
Welcome to citehr.com forum and we hope this proves to be a truly learning experience for you!!
Answer:
360 degrees appraisal is a very important tool for the company and it's effectiveness is not readily recognized for the following reasons:-
• A lot of apprehension is faced in terms of relaibility and authenticty of the feedback. Here what is important is the level of maturity of the participants to give unbaised feedback- which is very critical.
• Subsequently, once having an overview of the questions, methods of data collection and meaning of ratings, participants get into the active mode of introspection. Speciifc areas where they have received low ratings are critically examined and questions are asked specific to those items. The effective moderation of the process is very essential and critical!.
• The most volatile part of the session is when the open-ended feedback consisting of strengths and areas needing feedback is given to the participants. Invariably, this is the part, which causes a lot of introspection and awareness of ones own styles of functioning and impact.sometimes they feel is politically vindicated and try to justify that it's not right at all!!..mind you it is supposed to be done in a holistic manner.
• Setting action plans and identifying areas needing attention and focus, an important part of the is done in the end. This is where most companies fail to do so..once over the people forget and carry on with their usual mode of working.
The focus is towards changing the style of functioning to achieve better results.
Answer: Job performance is grey area if it is to be evaluated by others who do not know exactly how you are performing or what are your targets..for instance if you(HR Manager) were to be rated by your colleagues junior in marketing..what she/he can comment in right perspective on your job performance..
In a way , you are right in a transparent organization where it is effectively communicated to all the employees the KRAs of everyone then it can be included in the apraisal as well.
Great..this is a real challenge..before you do that first do the following:-
1. Read up all the material on this processes.(become an expert!!)
2. Study the pros & cons
3. Impact of this process on the performance by the companies which have implemented 360 degrees.
4. Prepare powerpoint presentation addressing this issue..imagine that you have been called by CEO/MD to convince the batch of employees to undergo the 360 degrees appraisal..
This will prepare you well for the assignment.

It's a good point whether company is ready to 360 ` apprasail process.
Where everything counts from reception attitude to monitor activities.
I thing for long term perspective it should be adapt in phases.
What do u think at priliminary stage like u may not have done fo a long time.

Hello Sir...
Thank u for providing such valuable thoughts and suggestions.....n i already started collecting data on the topic...
sir wht i think employees r restricing themself from the 360 feedback could be bcse many people either don't know what's expected of them or don't know whether or not their behaviors align with what's expected" ..
and even they dont want to get exposed(manner they think) by so many people...consciously or unconsciously nt prepared to intake ther weaknesses...might be bcos there is no formal system in place through which people receive information on how others perceive their behavior and their performance...
Sir m i sayng rgt...

Neha

Hello Neha,
Great to know that you have started collecting the data.
Very true!..
Very right once again...afterall we all are human beings with sensitivities..as pointed out earlier its needs to handled holistically by the Top Management and HR Professionals have to follow Dave Ulrich's Model of being Change Expert to implement the same. I suggest that you read up the write-ups on this topic by Dr T V Rao(www.tvrls.com).
Thanks for the feedback!!..You know why it works?..Because man is a part of the Nature which he invariably unconsciously forgets as he is busy with nuts & bolts of life ...once we learn to commune with the Nature..it gives us solutions & ideas..am glad that you all have started practising it.
am awaiting the dates from your course co-ordinator and i suggest that please collect actual problems or cases/data which we would try to solve in the coming session.

NEHA,
The 360 degree APPRAISAL is a great concept on paper but
it falls flat in implementation.
Its success lies in the way it is implemented.
There are very few companies , large ones, have made good
use of it.
The ones , who have failed with it, have just adopted it
and distributed the forms, without proper definition and
proper explanation.
The theory / the implementation plan assumes,
-most staff do not work in vacuum
-staff interact daily with people to get job done
-interaction could be internal / external people
-internal could include upwards/ downwards/sidewards
-external could include customers/ suppliers etc.
For the success of the 360 degree appraisal,
-each staff job must be analysed
-each staff's daily interaction analysed
-only those have regular [ at once a week] contacts
should be given the form.
You don't appraise the person but you appraise the performance
of the person.
If you contact a person--only once in six months, you can
hardly evaluate the performance.
The performance appraisal must be descriptive and not
value judgement based on some moral standards.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS ARE BASED ON CRITERIA SET
AND NOT SOME FANCIED WISHFUL THINKING.
Those are selected / given the forms must be briefed well
about the criteria / how to use it.
That is the reason for flop of 360 appraisals in many cases.
