Feedback report

A 360 report that tells people what to do next

Most 360 reports end with pages of charts. Sidelight’s report starts with a one-minute summary, shows the top strengths and areas to improve, and suggests what to try in the next 30 days.

Inside the report

Clear, kind and useful

At a glance

The top 5 strengths and areas to improve

Page two of every report sums it up: the five areas colleagues rated highest, the five rated lowest, and a one-minute summary of what to keep doing, start doing and watch out for.

  • Ranked by colleagues’ average, with your own view kept separate
  • A one-minute summary written for the person, not for HR
  • Scores shown in words like “Very good”, so it reads like feedback, not a test

Ranked results

Every area, every group, in plain words

Each area is ranked with a traffic-light bar for colleagues’ average, then how the manager, peers and direct reports each see it, so differences between groups stand out. Groups too small to stay anonymous are merged automatically, and blind spots get their own page.

For each area to improve, the report explains why it matters, gives two or three things to try in the next 30 days and how you’ll know it’s working.

  • Practical, specific ideas instead of generic advice
  • A personal development plan to fill in, pre-filled with the lowest-rated areas
  • Ready for a debrief with a manager or coach

1Makes sure quieter people get heard

What people are seeing

Colleagues rated this 2.6 out of 5, and you rated it 4.0.

Why it matters

When people feel heard they bring problems early and share their best ideas; when they don’t, they go quiet.

Try this in the next 30 days

  • In your next three meetings, summarize what you heard before you give your own view.
  • Count to three before replying when someone finishes speaking.
  • Ask “What am I missing?” at the end of each decision discussion.

You’ll know it’s working when

People bring you problems earlier, and say “thanks for hearing me out”.
