The feedback that is constructive and ongoing helps in the continuous development of employees, as it acknowledges results, and encourages effort. By receiving timely feedback, employees gain visibility for their work, which allows them to take further responsibility knowing the effort put in won’t go unnoticed. Here are 5 ways, managers can provide feedback that makes employees feel seen and valued.
Check-in often and early on with your employees For feedback to be effective it's important to check in early on and often with your team. This helps employees feel seen and recognized and that their best interests are kept in mind. This sort of validation goes a long way and helps to establish trust. Here feedback is more likely to be accepted and behaviors can be rectified from a trusted source. Clarity of feedback is important When trying to provide effective feedback managers need to make sure the feedback is clear and concise. Sometimes to deliver some negative feedback we may tend to ‘sandwich’ it between two positive ones. This confuses employees and should be avoided. Feedback is a two-way process Effective feedback is that when there's a give and take. It’s important to make sure that when managers are talking to employees, they have the patience to also listen to what team members are saying so that they have a clear understanding of the situation and feedback can be more detailed. Make it private An effective manager knows to praise in public and critique in private. People are more likely to listen when they don’t feel cornered or personally attacked. So it’s important to always check someone in private. Followup Effective feedback that’s given must also be followed upon. That’s the difference between good and great feedback. After giving feedback, you follow up to see, have the right changes have been made, are your employees on track, or do they need some additional help. It’s also sometimes as easy as saying “You’re doing a great job, keep it up” which can help employees stay on track. Giving effective feedback is vital for every manager, and should be seen from a large performance-based view where it is given early and often in a clear manner. Providing feedback is crucial for any manager and helps to produce better results.
