Create a 360° feedback survey as an administrator
To create a 360° survey for the organization, follow this guide:
- Navigate to Organization > 360 feedback.
- Press Add new 360 survey.
- Set your Survey title.
- Select subjects by clicking on Add subjects and choose from the user list shown or select segment(s) to narrow down the user list.
- Choose Create my own survey or Start from a template.
- If you want to Exclude data from Segments, select segments that should not have the data displayed. Leave empty if the generated data should be shown in all segment reports.
- If choosing an existing template, you can choose between Eletive templates or Custom templates created by your organization.
- Preview Survey Questions, during this step you can edit the questions or add translations.
- For 1-5 questions a category must be created to group questions together, similar to drivers for regular survey.If you are adding questions, choose between the following question types: 1-5, Multiple Choice, Text or NPS.
- Choose reviewers.
- Managers, Direct reports, and Peer reviewers will be autofilled if you have the organizational structure in place in the tool (user attribute), otherwise you will have to select your reviewers for each group manually by clicking on Add reviewers.
- If selecting reviewers manually, you need to specify which group the reviewers belong to and which subject they are giving feedback to.
- The number of peers and direct reports must be above the selected minimum segment size for your organization to protect the reviewers' anonymity.
- You will only be able to select as many reviewers for each category as stated in Settings > 360 feedback.
- Get a preview of the Invite email and the Reminder e-mail by pressing Customize Invite. In here you can also edit the email texts and subjects. If your organization uses more than one language, remember to translate your customized email texts as well.
- Add Start date, Duration, End date, and Timezone for your data collection settings and hit Launch 360 survey.
The manager, direct reports, peers, and the subject will now receive a notification asking them to complete the 360 feedback survey. For the subject, there is a self-evaluation to be completed. This will allow the subject to compare the reviewers' ratings with their own. The results will be available once the survey has closed. Answers from direct reports and peers will be anonymous, while answers from managers will not.
How to configure an active 360 survey:
Once a 360 feedback survey is live, you may need to adjust the reviewers or extend the survey’s duration. You can make limited edits to an active survey without having to relaunch it.
To edit an active survey:
-
Go to Organization > 360 feedback and locate your active survey.
-
Click the three dots (…) next to the survey and select Edit.
-
You will enter the Edit reviewers step:
-
Add, remove, or change reviewers.
-
Automatic reviewer suggestions are not available here - reviewers must be selected manually.
- When adding new reviewers, they will receive an invitation to the survey within a few minutes.
- If removing a reviewer and they have already answered the survey, their results will be included in the report that will be visible once the survey is closed.
-
-
Click Continue to move to the Data collection settings step:
-
Update the survey end date and time.
-
The new end date cannot be set earlier than the current date/time.
-
The new end date cannot be more than 3 months from today.
-
-
Click Save changes. You will return to the survey list and your updates will be applied immediately.
While editing a survey, you will see a banner at the top of the page reminding you that you are editing an active survey. The banner also includes a link to update the settings for the the next send-out of the survey instead.
Note: If a user's "participation" is turned off, they will not be able to be a subject or a reviewer for a 360 feedback survey.
