Multi Rater Assessment

A multi rater assessment is an evaluation of a subject from multiple perspectives. The subject could be either an individual, a team, or an organization. The multiple perspectives are offered from relevant stakeholders who rate the subject on parameters like professional competencies, performance, potential, and so on. 360 reviews, pulse surveys, and board evaluation are all examples of multirater assessments.

A multi rater assessment is a holistic system of professional people analytics. It involves ratings from several sources like peers, subordinates, superiors, and clients or customers. There can be several types of multi rater assessments such as 360 degree feedback, customer pulse surveys, 270 degree evaluation, franchise reviews, 720 feedback, company board evaluation, and more. While the subject of a multi rater assessment may vary, it is always an unbiased alternative to conventional 90-degree or 180 degree reviews. Since there are more than one reviewer/rater involved, it becomes easier to find strengths, identify weaknesses and draw conclusions regarding the performance and potential of an individual as well as an organization.
