Constructive Feedback for Managers: Giving Feedback Effectively

A 2009 Gallup survey of more than 1,000 US-based employees sought to qualify the impact of feedback on employees. Its findings are insightful:

- When a manager gives little or no feedback, the manager fails to engage 98% of employees.
- Four out of ten employees who receive little or no feedback become actively disengaged.
- Managers who concentrate on strengths when giving feedback are 30 times more likely to engage their employees than those giving no feedback.
- One in ten managers concentrates on weaknesses when providing feedback.

The conclusion drawn by the study is that the tools, techniques, and strategies that a manager uses when giving feedback have a huge impact on employee engagement.

In this article I’ll discuss why feedback is crucial, the basis of an effective feedback strategy, and one of the key tools that provide a framework for constructive feedback.

Great point about employees becoming disengaged when they don't get feedback!

[VTRXRY]

Completely agree with the explanation of constructive feedback. Looking forward to understand how to utilise this constructive feedback to promote a positive change within the company.

How about giving feedback to thin-skinned employees who bristle at any hint that they aren't already perfection embodied? I pointed out to a direct care worker that the time she took to prepare the client to go into the nail salon and follow the manicurist's instructions could be counted as pre-vocational training. The worker said, "The office said that's things like when she goes to the office and shreds papers." I said, "It is, but it's also things you've been doing with her like making sure she follows rules and instructions and helping her transition from one activity to the other. Those are actually important pre-vocational skills and it's a shame you're not getting credit for what you're doing with her." The worker CALLED THE OFFICE TO COMPLAIN! "Give yourself credit for all that you do" isn't exactly something I'd count as criticism!
