360-degree feedback isn’t just another performance tool—it’s a game-changer for public safety and local government teams. Research consistently shows that when used effectively, 360 feedback drives higher productivity, stronger leadership, and greater job satisfaction (Tambunan et al., 2024).
By regularly engaging in candid feedback, your team can:
Improve individual and organizational performance (Mwinzi & Kagiri, 2018)
Foster innovation and problem-solving (Curzi et al., 2019)
Strengthen fairness and trust in performance evaluations (Haddad et al., 2019)
Support career development and leadership growth (Harps, 2018; Siddiqui, 2017)
Many of these positive outcomes also drive employee retention by directly reducing turnover.
