The 360° feedback module in Speybl serves to obtain a comprehensive and balanced view of Employee Development. It combines self-assessment, evaluation of the direct supervisor and other selected people and allows assigning different weights to individual assessments.
🔄 Basic principle of 360° evaluation
A 360° assessment may include the following assessor roles:
Employee self-assessment
Evaluation by direct supervisor — the application automatically recognizes the direct supervisor according to the organizational structure
Ratings from other people — e.g., teammates or other employees across the organization, selected according to rating Settings
Each type of evaluation can be assigned a weight that determines its influence on the overall result.
⚖️ Settings rating scales
Each type of evaluator can be assigned a percentage weight:
Self-assessment — usually the lowest weight (e.g. 0–10%), or only informative
Evaluation by direct supervisor — usually the highest weight (e.g. 50–80%)
Ratings of other people — weight according to Settings (e.g. 10–40% of the total result)
If the "other people" rating is set to 30% and three people are selected, the weight is automatically divided equally between them.
For 360° evaluations, the results can be displayed in a summary overview, where you can clearly see how the self-evaluation went, how the direct supervisor evaluates it, what the average of the other evaluators is, and what the overall result is after taking the weights into account.
📝 Form and content of the evaluation
A 360° evaluation can also include verbal feedback , which is completely voluntary. You can also choose how the evaluation itself is conducted:
1. Evaluation using a metrics Forms
Evaluators are presented with a structured form in which they evaluate specific metrics, such as goal achievement, competencies, skills, or teamwork. Each metric can have its own scale, response type, and optionally a comment.
2. Evaluation using AI chat
The evaluation takes place in the form of an interactive chat, in which the application asks targeted questions, gradually guides the evaluator through the entire process and, based on the answers, assigns numerical values to individual goals. The number of questions dynamically adapts to the scope of the evaluation.
👥 Involvement of evaluators
Within the framework of a 360° evaluation, it can be determined whether the employee performs a self-evaluation, whether he is evaluated by his direct superior, and whether he is evaluated by other people (colleagues or subordinates).
Specific evaluators and their roles are set up within the configuration of the given evaluation in the Evaluation module. Settings can be made in bulk (for a group of employees or a team) or individually for each employee.
📊 Display results and permissions
With a 360° assessment, you can set who has access to individual results — whether the employee sees only the overall result or also the breakdown by groups of evaluators, and whether the direct supervisor sees the employee's self-assessment or assessments from other colleagues.
Specific Display options are governed by the settings of the given rating and the permissions of individual roles in Speybl.
For a direct supervisor, a 360° assessment is a valuable tool for comparing one's own perspective, the employee's self-assessment, and feedback from colleagues — this helps to better identify the employee's strengths and areas for development.
