Service description
360° assessment is an effective tool for collecting feedback, evaluating employee performance, and gathering input to support the development of both employees and the organisation. It is a key component in developing strategic talent management within the organisation.
In addition, the assessment strengthens the organisation’s feedback culture, helps employees understand expectations placed on them, increases self-awareness, and encourages ownership of their own development.
360° assessment process
Assessment is a valuable opportunity to give and receive feedback. Employee assessment typically takes about 5 weeks. When fewer employees are assessed, the schedule is faster. The assessment consists of the following steps:
- Week 1. Preparation: kick-off meeting with the client, questionnaire customisation, and information session with employees.
- Weeks 1-3. Data collection and report preparation, gathering feedback from employees (8-12 respondents per person).
- Weeks 3-5. Feedback meetings with Fontese consultants: supportive, development-oriented feedback delivered in a 1-hour meeting.
- Week 5. Presentation and delivery of results: comprehensive presentation of results to representatives of the organisation, along with recommendations.
360° assessment evaluators
The 360° assessment involves multiple people who work with the person being assessed and can provide substantive feedback to ensure comprehensive, balanced feedback. Usually, there are 8-12 assessors, including:
- The person being evaluated – provides a self-assessment, which is compared with other feedback (open or non-anonymous).
- Manager – evaluates the employee based on their knowledge of the employee’s skills and goals (open or non-anonymous evaluation).
- Colleagues – provide an overview of the skills and characteristics that have emerged through collaboration (averaged or anonymous evaluation).
- Subordinates – evaluate the feedback on the person being evaluated as their manager (averaged or anonymous).
- Customers, partners, board, or others – depending on the need, respondent groups whose feedback is important can be added (averaged or anonymous assessment).
This multifaceted approach provides a comprehensive and diverse overview of the employee’s strengths and areas for development.
Performance + potential: combining 360° assessment with personality testing
We offer the option to combine a 360° assessment with a personality test to align the feedback provided to the employee with their innate predispositions and potential. Innate predispositions are often linked to the employee’s strengths and areas for development. The assessment results, together with the personality profile, provide the employee with a more comprehensive reflection and help them to understand themselves better.

Map your employees and boost your organization's development.
Fontes 360° assessment provides you with information that allows you to identify your employees' strengths and development needs and systematically support their development.
Contact us!360° assessment is used in organisations of various sizes and fields that value development and a culture of feedback. It is used to develop both managers and specialists in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of an employee's strengths and development opportunities from the perspective of various parties (manager, colleagues, subordinates, and others). It is particularly useful in situations where the aim is to support the development of leadership skills, promote teamwork, develop organizational culture, or prepare for change. 360° feedback is well suited for both individual feedback and managing major changes in an organization.
360° assessments are recommended to be conducted regularly, but not too often, so that the results are relevant and to avoid placing an excessive burden on employees. Assessments are usually conducted once a year or every two years to allow sufficient time to act on the feedback received and make progress. The frequency of the assessment also depends on the organization's goals and the pace of change—for example, a rapidly developing organization may require more frequent assessments. It is important to ensure that the assessment supports the achievement of goals and the implementation of the company's strategy.
Confidentiality is very important in a 360° assessment. All responses are anonymous, except those from the person being assessed and their direct manager. Results are shown as group summaries, so individual answers cannot be identified. Open-ended responses are reviewed to remove anything that could reveal who wrote them. The assessment is carried out using secure platforms that protect data.
