360˚ degree feedback is an easy method to gather information on how the new employee is getting accustomed at the new workplace and how they are getting on. Asking colleagues is a great way to reflect on the current situation at work and help to find out the weak sports and implement changes for development. Thankfully here are tools developed for such situations to make your work easier!
Collecting feedback in the middle of the probation period is very important as it helps your decide what else can be implemented to make sure the new colleague becomes a fully integrated member of the team. It also help the newbie to find out what the organisation expects from him or her. 360˚ degree feedback is based on simple methods - objective feedback is given directly to the new employee, both from the leaders and colleagues and from other work related partners.

2. The new colleague can get feedback on whether the organisation is happy with their current development and what should or should not be changed.
3. Organisation can give feedback on how the new team member is fitting in with the new work environment.
4. Organisation can get feedback on whether the colleagues and leaders have made enough effort to make sure the new colleague feels comfortable and fits in with the crowd.
