Taking the capital F out of the word feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suit: Backed by the organisation<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes, the word feedback is associated with \u2018reviews\u2019, \u2018formal\u2019 and \u2018performance management<\/a>\u2019. But at Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we think it\u2019s time to re-write these word associations and match the word feedback with \u2018conversations\u2019,\u00a0 \u2018often\u2019 and \u2018two-ways\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developmental feedback isn\u2019t about waiting until the end of the year to sit down with employees and review their performance. It\u2019s about regular check ins, and making sure you drive people\u2019s responsibility to bring up how they are doing. So the question is: within your specific organisation, is the feedback process a formal and yearly one, or are you able to use regular conversations as a way to diagnose issues and course-correct along the way? If you feel you\u2019re not quite there yet, what are the tools available to you in order\u00a0 to encourage regular informal chats\u00a0 and ensure staff don\u2019t walk in to review meetings with a feeling of impending doom?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are ways to deformalise performance feedback and set the tone for a culture of regular informal discussions. Mostly, it\u2019s about leading by example. Make sure you give your managerial staff and senior teams the tools they need to role-model the way you would like to see developmental feedback rolled out within your company. Set the tone by developing managers to listen to their team members, encourage two-way feedback and follow up on what was said. Set the structure for regular meetings to take place and offer training and coaching for those who do not feel quite comfortable with this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So go ahead, lead the way and take back the word feedback to make it something new, less stuffy and don\u2019t hesitate to tailor it to your unique context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
