Start a 360° Feedback Process

Learn how to start a 360° feedback process as an HR or admin user.


How it works:

A 360° feedback process can either be started by

  • HR on behalf of a focus person (i.e., feedback receiver) or

  • a focus person themself

This depends on HR's preferences.

A 360° feedback process involves a template with defined competencies and questions which are answered by the focus person(s) as well as multiple feedback provider groups (e.g., Manager, Peers, Team etc.). The process has defined phases (i.e., nomination, evaluation, buffer) and an end date.

1) Start a 360° feedback process as HR

  1. Go to 360° Feedback under My Development in the left menu.

  2. Click the button Start a new 360° feedback process.

  3. Choose a template.

    • This defines the questions that will guide the feedback process.

    • This defines which feedback provider groups are assigned.

  4. Select a Start date.

    • This date defines when you would like to start the process.

    • Based on this start date, a schedule (based on the templates' timeline) appears.

    • The feedback providers get automatically invited on June 2nd, 2026, a day after the nomination phase ends.

    • Choose the focus person.

  5. Click Next.

  6. If you want, you can already select some feedback providers (e.g., manager) for the focus person by typing a name or email address.

    • Click Add additional feedback providers to the system to add further feedback providers.

    • → You can select only some or no feedback providers as it's mainly the focus person's task to think of and to add them.

  7. Click Next.

  8. Check the summary.

  9. Click Submit Request.

  10. By submitting the request, the focus person immediately gets an invitation email to add their feedback providers and fill out their self-perception.

⚠️ Note: Once the request is submitted, the feedback providers will automatically receive an email inviting them to share their perspective - on the Start date that was defined by HR (you can check it in the summary).

2) Let a focus person start a 360° feedback process

  1. When setting up the timleline of a 360° template, deactivate the following toggle.

  2. This ensures that the focus person themself can start a 360° feedback process with this template

    • Requires that the template is published
