360 Feedback That Connects to Every Review Cycle
360-degree feedback in PerformYard isn't a standalone survey — it lives inside the same platform your team uses for annual reviews, quarterly check-ins, and goal tracking. Feedback from peers and direct reports surfaces inside your performance review cycles, rather than in a separate report your managers have to hunt down.
Your HR team can set up peer reviews, have employees request feedback from peers, have peers offer to give feedback, or have managers define peer feedback relationships. Your 360 feedback configuration evolves as your strategy does.
Run Any 360 Feedback Configuration
- Peer Reviews and Multi-Rater Feedback: Reviewers submit feedback independently, and administrators control how individual scores are weighted in the evaluation. Automated reminders keep the cycle moving. PerformYard guides employees through each step without any manual follow-up from HR.
- Upward Feedback: Give employees a structured way to evaluate their managers. PerformYard supports upward feedback with questions designed to surface actionable development insights. HR controls who sees the results and how they feed into the review process.
- Self-Assessments: Employees complete a self-evaluation before their manager review. Both perspectives appear in the review form, surfacing gaps between how employees view their own performance and how managers rate them.
Manage 360 Cycles Without the Admin Burden
- Choose who sees feedback and whether responses are anonymous.
- Create multiple stages so responses from one stage inform the next.
- Customize questions specific to your organization rather than generic templates.
Completion tracking shows HR exactly where each reviewer stands without a manual check-in. Sign-off workflows ensure no review cycle closes with outstanding tasks.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 360-degree feedback software?
360-degree feedback software collects performance feedback from an employee's coworkers, managers, and direct reports. It helps provide a complete view of an employee's strengths and areas for improvement. It gives a more complete picture of how each employee is perceived across the organization which makes feedback more balanced and development conversations more specific.
What are the benefits of using 360-degree feedback software?
Using 360-degree feedback software provides a well-rounded view of an employee's performance, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, encourages open communication, and helps with personal self-awareness and professional development. Review bias is reduced because feedback comes from multiple sources.
What's the difference between a performance review and 360-degree feedback?
The difference between a performance review and 360-degree feedback is that a performance review is typically done by a manager, while 360-degree feedback includes input from coworkers, managers, and direct reports.
What makes PerformYard’s 360 feedback software better than competitors?
PerformYard’s 360 feedback software is better than competitors because it simplifies the employee review process with an easy-to-use, interactive platform. It automates workflows, supports ongoing real-time feedback and goal tracking, and offers total flexibility with customizable stages and anonymous feedback options.

Can you use PerformYard only for 360 reviews?
PerformYard is a complete performance management platform that integrates 360 reviews with goal tracking, check-ins, and reporting. While it is sold as a comprehensive system, customers can use it primarily for 360 feedback if that fits their current needs. The platform's 360 feedback tools are fully customizable and support all review formats.
Can reviews be submitted anonymously in PerformYard?
Yes, reviews can be submitted anonymously in PerformYard, particularly for 360-degree feedback and Employee Engagement Surveys. Administrators have the control to "redact" the author's name on review forms, displaying it as "Anonymous" to the review subject and their manager, which promotes candid feedback. Engagement surveys in PerformYard are also anonymous by default to encourage honest participation.
How does 360 feedback in PerformYard connect to performance reviews?
360 feedback in PerformYard isn't a separate process from your performance reviews — it's built into the same platform. Responses from peer reviewers and direct reports surface inside the review form alongside goal progress and manager ratings. Your HR team and managers have all the context they need in one place, rather than toggling between a survey tool and a review platform.
