Feedback is an important tool and it\u2019s used to support behavioural changes in the workplace while supporting positive behaviour. It\u2019s crucial that employers give feedback from time to time to identify areas of improvement and ensure that employees live up to their potential. However, it\u2019s not just about giving feedback. You also have to be open to receiving positive feedback. In this article, we\u2019ll cover this topic in some detail. Let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n

Positive Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before we jump into how to give and receive feedback, we have to identify what positive feedback actually means. It\u2019s about recognizing and communicating employees\u2019 strengths and successes. Receiving and giving positive feedback is crucial for all stakeholders. It helps people identify where their strengths lie, and where they need improvement. Moreover, it also helps to create a positive environment in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Giving Employee Feedback <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some tips to give employees positive feedback in a way that\u2019s sure to make a long-lasting impression. You can give effective positive feedback with technology like Peero<\/a><\/p>\n

Be Specific<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research shows that employees are more likely to grow when they get immediate feedback that is specific. So avoid using vague phrases that don\u2019t indicate what exactly your employee has done. Instead, outline what he has done that impressed you so much. The thing is, what you don\u2019t say is just as important as what you say.\u00a0 So if you give vague feedback, you can be sure that the true message might get lost somewhere and you won\u2019t be able to make your point.<\/p>\n

Focus on Effort<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you give positive feedback to your employees, focus on their efforts. You have to show them that the amount of effort they are putting in to accomplish their tasks are not going unnoticed. If you don\u2019t focus on that, it might create problems because employees won\u2019t be focusing on growth.<\/p>\n

Be Timely<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another tactic of giving positive feedback is to give it time. Here\u2019s the thing: several managers only give feedback at the time of evaluation or something along those lines. That\u2019s not how it should be. Managers should give positive feedback whenever the situation demands instead of waiting for the right time. You don\u2019t want your employees to feel that their hard work is going unnoticed. That would just raise feelings of resentment.<\/p>\n

Personalize It<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some employees prefer getting positive feedback in front of everyone. They want their achievement to be celebrated and for their peers to know that they are doing a good job. On the other hand, some employees prefer not to get their feedback in front of everyone else\u2014even if it is a positive one. In this case, you have to take the employee aside and let them know how they have performed. That\u2019s sure to make them feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n

How to Receive Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just about giving feedback. You also have to be open to the option of receiving positive feedback. Here\u2019s how you can receive positive feedback.<\/p>\n

Accept it<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must fight the urge to downplay your performance. Many people are simply too hard on themselves. They don\u2019t accept the positive and continue to dwell on what they did wrong. That\u2019s a wrong approach. You might feel that you are being humble, but the truth is that you are downplaying your achievement. You have to be confident and own up to the fact that you deserve it.<\/p>\n

Respond Positively<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be sure to respond positively to the reviewer. The best thing to do is to thank your manager. If you\u2019re worried that you might sound overly confident, think of all the hard work that you put in to get here. For instance, if your manager compliments you on how well you have mastered the new software, instead of toning it down, you can say thank you and tell them how hard you worked to learn the new software. Don\u2019t dilute your feedback with random excuses. It\u2019s your moment and you deserve it.<\/p>\n

Extract Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not enough to only accept the positive feedback, you also have to learn how to use it to your advantage. That means extracting all the relevant information. Think of the performance that your manager really liked and try to replicate that more often. If you don\u2019t feel you have sufficient information, you might want to dig in a bit deeper. Ask your manager for more information. For instance, if your manager says that they really liked the work you did on the last presentation. You can talk about what exactly they liked and take it from there. If you feel that you need more tips, you can ask your manager for more constructive feedback. Perhaps arrange a meeting one-on-one to see where you are going.<\/p>\n

Own Your Mistakes<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all make mistakes, that\u2019s a fact. In fact, as human beings, we cannot grow unless we don\u2019t make mistakes and learn from them. So when you\u2019re given positive feedback, you might be told of a mistake you made here and there. Instead of shutting it down, you should acknowledge that, apologize for it and try to do better. It\u2019s one of the ways to move forward.<\/p>\n

Be Grateful<\/strong><\/p>\n

Above all, be grateful that you have received feedback. A lot of employees don\u2019t get the relevant feedback they need to grow. So if you\u2019re getting it from your employer, be grateful as it is a chance to grow. Show your manager that you have heard and understood the whole thing and share your ideas for improvement. Tell them that you will consider their advice and work on bringing changes. When you show them that you are grateful, they are more likely to give you better feedback in the future.<\/p>\n

It might be tough to plan out feedback. It might be even tougher to ensure that you are giving the right feedback and that the employee is taking it well. However, it is one of those things that have to be done if you\u2019re planning to make yourself and your workplace better for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
