My company is interested in implementing a 360 Performance Appraisal system. Could any of you please share with me their policy/procedure on such a system? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

All managers, GM's, and senior officers utilize this tool in our Company. It's infiltrating our supervisory ranks, as well. It is followed up with a substantial coaching process. It has been extremely successful and widely accepted as an extremely effective performance improvement tool.
I think you have to utilize a good 360 tool and be tied into the right people to make it work. There are a lot of options out there. We use a series of on-line 360 instruments from PDI, which makes for quick and easy administration, they are confidential, and the measurement instrument fits our culture and organization.
Too many politics and issues with making 360's part of formal performance appraisals.
Our company of 10,000 plus employees does not use performance appraisals...AMEN!

Since its not part of any performance appraisal system, there is no need for the organization to file anything. It's a matter of personal responsibility in dealing with the data to improve oneself.
No filing, no bureaucracy, no crappy rating system mandated by anyone.
It's a shame people wreck good things with bureaucracy and paper.
You will be happy with the product.
I would still like to implement a 360, not to substitute but rather to augment our current PA system, and also to be able to use it as a training and development tool.
I would appreciate it if any of the members of this forum could share with me any forms, policies or procedures relating to this topic. I will probably end up buying a software of some sort on 360 PA's. however, at this point, I would like to assess and compare any available resources and/or alternatives. Thank you.
