Dear Sangi,
Sorry to hear that you are still unable to read the files. I will try to re-send you the 360 Degree Booklet in PDF format. As far as the ZIP format is concerned, I only use WinRAR archive software. If the online EXE file is corrupt, then I suggest you buy a software CD and install it directly on your PC. Alternatively, you may search for other websites on the internet for a free version of WinRAR software. I hope you'll understand.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hi Adnan,
The booklet was really useful. However, I have one doubt. Maybe you or anyone else can clarify it. When we say 360-degree appraisal, does it include performance evaluation by your superiors, peers, consultants, clients, etc.? Right? But how unbiased is it in its form? While your peer is evaluating you or vice versa, does it really remain as objective as it should be? Please answer.

Hi there! Thanks for this very useful information. Hope that you'll not get tired of sharing info like this.
Just want to ask, when can you say that the evaluation done by the supervisor to his employees is objective enough... just a thought which hopefully you could help answer... 😊
Have a nice day! 😛

Hi dear, it's Sawan. I am from India. I have read the book suggested by you; it's a very good book. I would like to recommend that you read "HR Review" (ICFAI Publications). It will help you increase your knowledge.
Dear Adnan,
I apologize for the inconvenience, but could you please forward a copy of the appraisal to me as well, at

Hi!
This is a very informative material on the 360 Degree Appraisal Method. However, it fails to answer the questions and clarify the issues that surround this methodology. The reasons are as follows:
1. There is no discussion about the "appropriate weight of the ratings" that each of the identified raters must be given. Does it mean all the raters identified (employee's immediate contacts) will have the same or equal rating weights? I disagree because this is open to questions and poses a legal problem for the company, especially when the results are used as a basis for the dismissal of those rated "poor."
2. This material failed to make the 360 Degree a true appraisal tool that can stand on its own. The 360 Degree remains a framework or perspective in this discussion. It does not provide the "tool or form" that organizations can use to accomplish the objectives it is promoting. Hence, HR practitioners would still have to design their tools/questionnaires.
3. In view of its failure to propose its own "tool or form," the 360 Degree can be a useless methodology if the people who follow it adopt "appraisal forms" that contain the same "characteristics" (e.g., subjectivity, bias, favoritism, unfairness) as those that have made employees hate appraisals worldwide.
Best wishes.
