The theory
The 360 Elite system was developed by Sarah Hamilton-Gill and was originally developed to manage complex projects and teams. In 2012, we worked with Sarah to develop our bespoke Thomas 360 system.
The 360 system centres around providing a ‘360 degree’ perspective on someone's competencies. All feedback is anonymous and encourages everyone to answer freely, constructively and honestly. This feedback gives a better understanding of performance at work, strengths and areas to grow.
Our 360 is bespoke, so you can make it work for what your business needs. Either pick from one of our questionnaire templates or choose the competencies you want to focus on from our selection.
Format
Select a template or choose from the competencies to create your framework. Your respondents will use this to rate each other's performance on a scale of 1-7 and leave comments in a free text field. The report will provide a score and highlight any differences between the ratings from the participant, which is shown as an image in the report.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 360 degree feedback assessment?
A 360 degree feedback assessment is a process that gathers feedback from an individual's managers, colleagues, team members, and customers to provide a comprehensive evaluation of their performance. It involves utilising a 360 feedback tool, which allows individuals to receive feedback from multiple perspectives. The 360 assessment provides a holistic view of an individual's competencies and helps identify performance gaps.
How do 360 degree feedback tools work?
360 degree feedback tools enable individuals to collect feedback from various stakeholders in their work environment.

The feedback is then compiled into a report, generated by the 360 feedback system, that highlights areas of agreement and differences, providing a comprehensive view of the individual's performance.
