Feedback is a must blog

Feedback to coworkers is an issue. What is the best way to be precise? What is the best way to balance the need for sensitivity with clarity? How can I promote a positive conversation that can make my coworker feel at ease and confident?

Working remotely can amplify those difficulties. The body language and subtle signals that are readily recognizable while in person could be hard to discern from a distance. Therefore, if you're able to give positive feedback, whether positive or negative, lines get crossed, and the person who is at the right level to understand the thoughts you are thinking about.

However, feedback, with all it's pitfalls and complications, is an essential component of teamwork. You can't just hope that your team will magically fill in gaps on those areas that need improvements. Your team won't be able to sustain its efforts over a lengthy time without the support of their leaders as well as the support.

So, in this article in this post we'll offer some top practices that can assist you in making your feedback more effective to colleagues at work. We'll dive into.

What can you do to provide constructive feedback

Take into consideration the way of delivery

With a variety of options for communications at your disposal make sure you choose the most appropriate one. Make sure you ask recently recruited team members (or the current members of your team) what they would prefer communicating, as well as the way they prefer receiving feedback.

Even though your workplace might have standard periodic reviews, feedback may occur at any time and you'll need to ensure everyone on your team is present and comfortable to receive the comments. This could mean shutting off the camera, mailing a thoughtful email, or scheduling a more frequent 1:1 according to their level of comfort and objectives within the workplace.

Create a safe environment

If you're working in an office space There are numerous options to set the tone through your surroundings. You could invite a colleague to a coffee break and talk about what they think of an important client meeting which did not go well and then take them to a conference room for lively discussions or even take you to the lobby for a few hugs. In a setting where you're far from home, you'll face plenty of trouble selecting the best setting for what you'd like to talk about. In the meantime, you'll need to come up with mental safety warnings. This could mean ensuring that the time for your meeting is a place where people aren't surrounded by external distractions or pressures, dress appropriately for the occasion (a informal dress code may help people feel less stressed) or even suggesting the possibility of a phone switch or camera in order to provide people with a break from screen fatigue. An audio-only meeting can also bring down anxiety associated with the meeting and fosters the engaged listening between the participants. This leads us to our next topic.

Listen (but don't pry!)

A distributed workplace in which communication habits are continuously changing and the lines between work-life are not as clear. Listening actively can help build confidence and trust. It gives you an awareness of what your teammates are experiencing within their lives and the factors that affect the performance of the teammates. This gives you the chance to improve feedback and learn about what's not working, as well as what you can do to improve the working environment for team members.

Be sure to start by focusing on the positive instead of the negative

It's been proven over a period of time that the compliment sandwich--in which negativity is tucked in between two positives - is an efficient method of delivering difficult information. Positive feedback has gained a feeling of urgency in recent times. A lot of people are stressed across a myriad of personal areas (like family, health and social concerns, and even despite your best efforts, likely professional) and could greatly benefit of positive reinforcement.

  Out of these conflicting stressful conditions comes what psychologists call the negativity bias which can be defined as a tendency to concentrate and focus on negative feedback instead of positive feedback. That means employers need to do their best to prioritize positive feedback over negative. No matter how critical the feedback may be what is the most effective thing to do is start from the perspective of empathy and respect and to acknowledge the tireless effort that team members of your organization contributed to this difficult time.

You must be clear and specific in your feedback

In order to counter negative prejudices, concentrate on the specific feedback that offers concrete insights rather than general comments on confidence and behavior or attitude to work or the ability to resolve conflicts which are often misunderstood or unhelpful.
 
  Good feedback isn't just an evaluation of performance, but as well an opportunity to develop and set goals. The most effective feedback is provided by those who have a specific objective and purpose in mind and are able to clearly articulate what the person needs to work on in order to help the person reach their goal.

You can also tie feedback to an action or effect it is important to understand how their thought process directly contributed to a profit or oversight or lack of communication led to another worker having to repeat certain work and the way to handle it this time.

Your feedback should be prioritized to highlight the most critical points

Instead of keeping an unending number of complaints or suggestions to sift through at in a conference, you should think about the best suggestions you could offer to specific areas which could be able to have most impact in the areas where it really matters.

Take a look at the key conclusions

Following the meeting, you should ask them to go over the most important aspects. Then, you can think of methods to overcompensate for the shortcomings in their performance and/or improve their efficiency in their role (and how you might be able to support them) or request them to offer up their summary of the feedback meeting when they are at ease enough. The goal is to make sure you're both aligned and you're able to make sure information has landed as intended.

Follow up

Over the months or weeks after feedback meetings, check in with them and see what they're up doing. You can either use this occasion to continue building trust. Also, ensure they're capable of balancing the various responsibilities they have, and encourage positive feedback.
