360 degree feedback form template. This template allows a mixture of key skills comprising one, two, three, four, and up to six elements. The number of elements per key skill/capability varies of course, so if necessary adjust the size of the boxes in the first column accordingly to accommodate more or less elements. See the 360 degree appraisals notes for more explanation about the purpose of each column and heading, and the feedback scoring method. Insert your own Feedback Form headings and instructions: appraisee name, date, feedback respondent name, position (if applicable) plus local instructions and guidelines for completion, etc. key skill/capability area

The process of designing the feedback document (essentially a questionnaire) is to build it from the role's key skill areas: break these down into elements, and measure each via carefully worded questions, which the respondents answer and thereby grade the performance, ie., give feedback in respect of the person in question. The question as to anonymity of respondents is up to you. A grown-up organization with grown-up people should be able to cope with, and derive more benefit from, operating the process transparently - but you need to decide this. Some people are happier giving feedback anonymously. And some people are not able to deal particularly well with criticism from a named person. For more information and guidance about handling and explaining this particular aspect refer to the Johari Window model - it's a powerful and helpful concept to use alongside the 360 degree feedback/appraisal process.
