Constructive Feedback - How to get the Best from Your Employees*
Feedback has become a widely used buzzword in recent years and
it's more positive brother, constructive feedback is seen
as a more developmental process for employees. But what are the
keys to getting the best from constructive feedback?
Giving feedback in a constructive way is beneficial for
everyone. Your employee values your experienced and focused
input, thus improving their performance. You gain a
better motivated team.
And your organisation benefits from a gradually evolving
skilled workforce, leading to a stronger culture of
sustainable performance growth.
Here are ten keys points which will enable you to get the
best value from your workforce.
1. Instill trust - criticism can be a bitter pill to
swallow, so sweeten it by showing that you're trying to help the
person, not looking to feed your own ego.
2. Know your aim - work out what you want them to do
differently and keep this in mind while you talk to them.
3. Think right place, right time - have the conversation
as soon as possible after the incident, so that the events are
still fresh. If it's a sensitive issue, take it somewhere
private.
4. Set the scene - make it clear from the outset what you
need to talk about. If you think the other person knows what you
are going to say, then start with a question, such as, "How do
you think this morning's presentation went?"
5. State what went wrong - help them get clear what they
think happened first, then explain to them the positives of the
performance - and the tricky bits too. Don't miss the chance.
6. Short and sweet - by ensuring that you keep the pain
to a
reasonable timescale, they won't feel belittled. Make sure
that you make your point and listen to theirs an have done with
it.
7. Share the impact - it's also important to explain what
the consequences of their actions will be, especially to the
organisation. It isn't intended to scare them, more a gentle
reminder of the bigger picture.
8. Be present - it's time to make time for them in this
moment - they need you to be on their side. That can only happen
if you give your full attention, so make every effort to do so.
9. Value them - at the end of the conversation it's time
to let them know how highly you regard them. That they are a
great member of your team and that they do great work. This is
just one of those things to learn by.
10. Seek solutions together - and you and they are
working collaboratively to make this work better in future. You
are a team and all for one/one for all etc.
Remember, giving feedback constructively makes for growth
in performance, as it is a learning exercise.
Treating people well in this situation is great for
building relationships one-on-one, which will make for a
developing workforce, and not one that feels constantly
criticised.
