Peer Feedback That Actually Helps: Draft a 360 Comment

The 360 form is open and your notes are a mess of half-sentences. Drop in the colleague, their role, the area and your raw jottings. You get two finished comments: one pointing at a real growth opportunity, one naming what they genuinely do well, both specific enough to be useful. For anyone who wants to give peer feedback that lands rather than fills a box.

I am completing a 360-degree feedback review for my colleague {COLLEAGUE_NAME}, who works as a {ROLE}. I want to give honest, specific, and constructive feedback on {FEEDBACK_AREA}. My raw notes are: "{RAW_NOTES}". Using my notes, write two versions of a 360 comment: one that is development-focused (highlighting a growth opportunity) and one that is strengths-focused (recognising what they do well). Each comment should be 60 to 100 words, specific enough to be actionable, and professional enough to be read by HR or senior leadership. Avoid vague praise like 'great team player' and avoid language that sounds like a performance improvement plan.
