What is mean by 360-degree appraisal?

What is mean by 360-degree appraisal?
It is a metaphorical way of saying "an appraisal of everything", alternatively "a thorough appraisal". 360 degrees is a complete circle, so it essentially means "start at one point, and appraise everything until you end up back where you started" (i.e you can't miss anything out).
The most common reference is to the evaluation process in organisations.
In basic terms, everyone who comes into contact with a worker is asked to contribute to their appraisal - rather than just their immediate supervisor.
