BIRKMAN 360° ASSESSMENT
360° feedback & self-discovery
Birkman 360° is a multi-rater feedback survey that empowers candidates to promote positive growth and change in the workplace. Unlike a typical “top-down” employee review, this survey incorporates feedback on performance from multiple perspectives. These appraisals can involve the employee, supervisors, direct reports, and peers, and illuminate the difference between self-evaluation and perception of leaders, peers, and others. Coupling the Birkman 360° with data from The Birkman Method further strengthens the insights gained.
