How to build a good 360 questionnaire

  1. Keep it short: 15 to 25 rating questions take reviewers about 10 minutes, and short surveys get more honest answers.
  2. Ask about behaviours people can see (“shares information without being asked”), not personality traits (“is a team player”).
  3. Use one rating scale throughout, and give reviewers a “haven’t seen this” option so they don’t guess.
  4. Add two or three open-ended questions: the comments are often the most useful part of the report.
  5. Ask 5 to 10 people from different sides (manager, peers, direct reports, clients) and keep answers anonymous.
