The question of how to get employees to improve has generated a good deal of opinion and research over the last hundred years. Most of us agree about the importance and benefits of feedback. Yet research suggests that feedback is still not being given often enough and when it is given it is not really doing what it is supposed to do; which is to help us improve. A 2018 Employers Council blog post<\/a> reported that 65% of employees want more feedback. In 2019, Gallup found<\/a> that only 26% of employees strongly agree that the feedback they receive helps them do better work. However, another study<\/a> found that 71% of respondents overall agreed that they find critical feedback helpful and motivating. Once you delve into the topic of feedback, you’ll even find conflicting evidence that feedback in business truly enables learning and change. Talking to participants in our management training programmes<\/a> supports some of these statistics. We often hear from managers that they want<\/em> to give more feedback, but they lack the methods to give them confidence when they do it.<\/p>\n

Statistics aside, let’s focus on two of the most obvious factors of the feedback conversation: The person giving the feedback, and the person receiving the feedback. When both have the skills, confidence and ability to have a productive feedback conversation then you will have a high chance of success (i.e. change). And the glaringly obvious… if the feedback is positive („you’re doing a great job, keep it up“)… easiest conversation ever! Having a negative, or critical feedback conversation, while making it a productive conversation is of course where the skills, confidence and ability are most needed…<\/p>\n
