3 Key Steps When Implementing an Employee Feedback System
1. Ask employees for feedback
2. Analyze employee satisfaction
3. Turn constructive feedback into action
How to Ensure You Are Establishing Positive Feedback Systems That Are Healthy and Authentic
1. Create a safe space – Be sure to clearly communicate well ahead of time that a conversation with you is an area free of judgment and prejudice
2. Lead by listening – Actively listen to employees and don’t react until you have a full understanding of the situation.
3. Give Feedback in person – Prepared emails and texts are convenient but have a way of sanitizing the truth. Always put in the time with people, either in person or at the very least over the phone.
4. Control emotions – creating some headspace between your emotional and rational brain increases your mental strength and makes you more present for others.
