360 Evaluation Template for Austria

This 360 Evaluation agreement is designed for organizations operating in Austria that wish to implement a comprehensive feedback system involving multiple stakeholders. The document becomes necessary when companies plan to introduce or formalize their performance evaluation processes, particularly where feedback is gathered from multiple sources including supervisors, peers, subordinates, and sometimes external stakeholders. It ensures compliance with Austrian labor laws, data protection regulations (GDPR/DSG), and works council rights while providing a structured framework for gathering, processing, and utilizing multi-source feedback. The agreement is particularly important for organizations with 25 or more employees where works council involvement is common, and where formal evaluation processes need to be documented and standardized.
