Three best practices to improve your employee feedback

One of the most challenging aspects in performance management is giving feedback to your employees. Likewise, one of the most difficult aspects in performance improvement is being receptive to feedback—especially feedback that is deemed to be constructive.

All Things Workplace highlighted three best practices in improving your organization’s employee feedback. One of these practices is to start the conversation from day 1:

Set the tone for the future early on by asking, “How are things going with project x?” What didn’t we anticipate? What’s going well? What isn’t going well, so we can find out how to get it on track?

Then make sure that both of you do what you say you’ll do.

Other best practices include:

• Keep talking about having conversations, not feedback
