# Introduction to Employee Evaluation The 360 Employee Evaluation Module was created to assist in the Performance review process. The focus of the 360 evaluation is to obtain a holistic view of the employee as viewed by their subordinates, managers, peers as well as a self evaluation and that of stakeholders (stakeholders will be introduced in a following release). The employee that participates in the 360 Evaluation will receive an email containing a link to the evaluation dashboard. The dashboard will display a list of employees that the participant must evaluate. The participants’ progress of the evaluation is displayed and the results are saved. The bulk of the administration can be managed via an import process. The approach used makes the evaluation process effortless and fun for the participant and easy to manage for the administrator, making this a very valuable addition to the Performance Management functionality within the system. ## 1.
