    GIVING EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK

    Always give feedback as you monitor your employees’ progress toward their goals.

    Do show your honest concern and appreciation.
    Do be timely about delivering praise, so that your employees see the direct connection between their actions and your response.
    Do praise in public, reprimand in private.
    Do give details about how things should change or why they need to continue as they are.
    Don’t be judgmental; keep your comments objective.
    Do focus on specific behaviors.
    Do make time for discussion.
    Do keep a written record of what you agree on together.
  • Valeria Lunguhas quoted5 years ago
    It takes vision, skill, and dedication to create a workplace where employees feel important and supported, and where they’re committed to their work and to each other’s growth and development. A team that’s productive, innovative, and goal-oriented must be energized and fully engaged. If you don’t intervene when your talented employees’ jobs have become routine, you run the risk of losing them, either physically or psychologically. You must stay on the lookout for opportunities to challenge each one of your employees.
