The 360 Degree Performance Appraisal Form is designed for use in South African organizations seeking to implement comprehensive performance evaluation systems. This document is typically used during annual or bi-annual performance reviews, providing a structured approach to gathering feedback from multiple stakeholders including supervisors, peers, and subordinates. The form incorporates requirements from South African labor legislation, including the Labour Relations Act and Employment Equity Act, ensuring fair and non-discriminatory evaluation practices.

The document is particularly valuable for organizations focusing on employee development, succession planning, and creating transparent performance management systems.
