With the help of the people analytics, you can quickly understand the significance of the results. We also frequently use the 1:1 function, which, although very simple, is extremely useful.

We see the People team as a partner team rather than an admin team. We want to focus on our employees and not on processes. With Leapsome, we have automated the manual work around feedback and career development so that we can spend our time with our people: understanding their needs, guiding them through their very own DCMN lifecycle, and helping them find purpose in what they do.

What to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Which 360 feedback software is right for me?

The best 360° feedback software for you depends on your organizational needs and priorities. Ideal platforms make it easy to collect feedback from a variety of sources, centralize performance data, set up automated workflows, and visualize results so you can spot insights and trends. However, you may prefer to opt for a dedicated performance management tool or implement a comprehensive HRIS that also includes 360° feedback capabilities, for example. 

We think Leapsome Reviews would be an ideal fit for your business. Our platform is purpose-built for modern, people-centered performance management processes that foster employee growth and company success. And our modular system means you can pick and choose additional HRIS and people enablement capabilities based on your current and evolving needs.

What is 360-degree feedback software?

360° feedback software allows employees to receive feedback from various sources. For instance, they might get feedback from:

  • Managers
  • Peers
  • Direct reports
  • Customers, clients, and suppliers
  • Themselves via self-assessment

360° feedback software generates questionnaire forms or templates. HR teams can customize or amend them, and the tool distributes the questionnaires for all evaluators to fill in. If they don’t respond within a certain time period, the feedback tool for employees may send reminders and notifications, too.

In most cases, 360° feedback software includes analytics tools so you can uncover trends and patterns, visualize data in graphs and charts, and take informed action.
