360 Reviews: How to Give Useful Peer Feedback

Peer feedback carries a different weight than manager feedback — use it well.

1. Focus on your direct working experience with the person, not secondhand impressions.
2. Be specific and balanced — both genuine strengths and real growth areas.
3. Frame feedback constructively even when anonymous — anonymity isn't license for harshness.
4. Avoid feedback on things outside your direct observation or expertise.
