“The 360 degree feedback system is by far the best method to assess performance in organisations.”

According to Fletcher & Baldry (1999), the purpose of performance appraisal is to provide an accurate objective measure of how well a person is doing a job. They also suggest that on the basis of this information, decisions will be made about the employee s future with the organisation. In addition, they argue that performance evaluations are often used to validate specific selection techniques.
