| How to offer feedback to ensure your team is on track, motivated, and thriving! |
| The truth is — one of the best ways to help employees thrive is to offer them feedback. It’s one of the most important tools leaders have to increase a sense of motivation and engagement. Providing your team with specific, authentic, and timely feedback on their work will help them feel valued. Be generous with positive feedback. Offer constructive feedback very carefully. Future-oriented ‘feed-forward’ solutions will also support team members with insights into your perspective and development opportunities. Let’s start with positive feedback. “Catch people doing something right,” says Ken Blanchard, co-author of the One Minute Manager. |
 Gallup engagement surveys reveal that more than two-thirds of employees whose managers focused on their strengths were fully engaged in their work, as compared to less than a third of employees whose managers focused on their weaknesses. Recognition has been proven to increase happiness at work in general and is linked to concrete results, such as job satisfaction and retention. In the last 30 years, I have worked with thousands of leaders by coaching and facilitating workshops. Offering positive feedback is always included during our conversations in building teams. Please refer to our article in this National publication for some concrete actions leaders and leadership teams can take to provide positive feedback.
