What is Workplace Feedback?

 

– Workplace feedback is simply defined as a process of giving constructive suggestions by supervisors, reporting managers as well as peers aimed at improving performance, reinforcing good behavior and improving employees’ morale and dedication to doing their jobs. The mistake that most managers make is not to provide enough feedback because they are afraid of losing the employee and making it all about the negative attributes of the worker and forgetting to provide praise where it is due.  Open Sourced WorkplaceOpens in a new tab.
