Origin 360-degree performance appraisal has historical roots within a military
context. DuringWorldWar II, this trend was used as multiple-source feedback
by the German military. Soldiers were evaluated by peers, supervisors and subordinates to
provide insight and recommendations on how to improve performance. The first documented use of surveys to accomplish 360-degree
feedback was in the 1950s, by the Esso Research and EngineeringCompany which is now under the Exxon Mobil umbrella.
Furthermore, many companies began adopting the idea of 360-degreefeedback.
The most notable success story was General Electric CEO JackWelch's use of 360-degree feedback.
According to Fortune magazine, 90 percent of all Fortune 500companies use some sort of multi-rater feedback. (GE, HP, Accenture,ABN Amro, Bank of America, etc.)

feedback intervention? Is the organization supportive of talent development and coaching? Do managers get trained, rewarded and compensated to act as
performance coaches? Do employees feel comfortable giving feedback? Has your organization had a bad experience with a prior 360-degree
feedback intervention? Are people motivated to use the feedback they receive for their own
