360° Feedback Tips

A very important part of the SIPR process is the 360° feedback process. 360° feedback is a method to systematically collect opinions about your work performance from clients, colleagues, program areas and local stakeholders….people who see you in action at work. When the feed back is shared with you, it enables you to identify both areas for growth and your existing strengths.

• Feedback is designed to provide YOU with information about how others see you. You won’t learn much if you ask only people whose responses you can predict. In the long run, you will miss the opportunity to improve yourself.
• In most cases, people will be more honest if the feedback is returned to a third party in a manner that ensures confidentiality.
• Use the best instrument available to collect feedback.
• Discuss the feedback with a coach who can provide you with perspective on what you’ve learned. More detailed information about 360° degree feedback is available to view as a PDF file at http://www1.uwex.edu/ces/admin/360.pdf
