How do I set up a 360-degree review in Keka?

A 360-degree review collects feedback about an employee from the people they work with. Reviewers can include the Reporting Manager, Manager of Manager, Peers, Subordinates and Department Head. Which reviewers you include is up to your organisation, and not every organisation follows the same process. For many, feedback from the Reporting Manager and Peers is what 360 means.

In Keka, you set up a 360 review by adding the reviewers you want while creating a review cycle.

Steps to set up a 360-degree review

1. Go to Performance > Reviews > Review Cycles and click Create Review Cycle.

   

2. On Start review setup, choose Advanced setup. It gives you more control and customisation for annual or half-yearly reviews. Then click Verify setup.

   

3. Under Review cycle, enter the Review cycle name. You can also click Add description to add one.
4. Select how reviews happen in your organisation:
   • Same time for all: Reviews happen for all employees at the same time.
   • Based on DOJ: Reviews happen based on each employee's joining date.
   • Create your own: Choose this if your process doesn't match the other two.

5. Set how often the review occurs, for example Once a year in every January starting from 2026. Then click Next.

   

6. Under Reviewers, Self and Reporting Manager are selected by default. Click Add more reviewers to include any of these:
   • Manager of Manager
   • Department Head
   • Peers

   • SubOrdinates

     

     

7. If you add Peers or SubOrdinates, set the Nomination options:
   • Who can nominate? Choose who nominates reviewers, such as Performance Admin, Self or Reporting Manager.
   • Numbers of reviewers allowed: Set the Min and Max number of reviewers. The example shows Min 0 and Max 2.

   • To have nominations approved, select When employee/Reporting manager nominates reviewers, it should go for approval. Then choose the approver, such as Reporting Manager.This is optional.

     

8. Click Next and complete the remaining steps in the setup: Review Form, Review meeting, Summary & Publish, Timelines, Visibility and Map employees.
9. Click Complete setup. You can click Save as draft at any point to continue later.

Note: As an admin, you can nominate reviewers yourself. If Self or Reporting Manager is chosen as the nominator and you nominate as admin, Keka automatically approves all nominations.

Tip: For a basic 360 with only manager and peer feedback, keep Reporting Manager selected and add Peers. Add Manager of Manager, Department Head and SubOrdinates only if your process needs them.
