The Feedback 360 (Pulse) survey is a rapid, qualitative-only 360-degree feedback tool designed for individuals at any level. It allows users to quickly gather lightweight, open-text feedback from managers, colleagues, and direct reports to help inform what they should do to improve or sustain their impact and growth.
Science Behind the Survey
This template is founded on the principle that timely, qualitative feedback drives meaningful development. By limiting the survey to a few open-text questions, it prioritizes speed and simplicity. This approach is aligned with modern coaching methodologies that value reflection and narrative, helping to drive self-awareness and growth.
How It Differs from Other Templates
The Feedback 360 is intentionally scaled back to address use cases where time and cognitive load are constraints. It differs from other effectiveness templates in key ways:
Forgoes Quantitative Ratings: Unlike the more comprehensive Individual 360 or Manager 360 templates, the Feedback 360 (Pulse) forgoes quantitative ratings and granular competency mapping.
Focuses on Lived Experience: It concentrates instead on brief lived experiences and actionable suggestions, making the feedback more personal and less structured.
Qualitative-Only: It relies on a fixed set of four open-text questions, making it a purely qualitative tool.
When to Use It
This template is recommended for fast, informal feedback cycles. It's an ideal tool for pulse checks and iterative development contexts, such as after a project completion, when onboarding a new team member, or for a quick input into development planning.
