Did you know that 90% of managers avoid giving feedback?

This statistic highlights a critical workplace challenge. Avoiding feedback not only leads to missed opportunities for growth but can also impact employee engagement and productivity. Research shows that employees thrive when managers actively support their development. Making feedback a routine part of management—rather than reserving it for annual reviews—helps prevent small issues from escalating and fosters a culture of continuous improvement.

The Fundamentals of Effective Feedback

Meaningful feedback is essential to performance management. Studies reveal that 80% of employees who receive regular, constructive feedback remain more engaged. High-performing teams deliver nearly six times more positive feedback than average teams, underscoring the power of a supportive feedback culture.

Key Elements of Effective Feedback

For feedback to drive positive change, it must be:

• Specific – Focus on observable behaviours and clear examples.
• Timely – Given soon after an event to reinforce or correct actions effectively.
• Balanced – A mix of constructive and positive reinforcement to encourage growth.

Practical Tips for Delivering Feedback

• Prepare Thoroughly: Gather facts, document specific examples, and plan key discussion points.
• Choose the Right Setting: Opt for private, distraction-free environments where employees feel comfortable.
• Be Clear and Solution-Oriented: Provide direct, actionable feedback that promotes improvement and trust.
