When constructive feedback is given and received in the right way it can help people thrive both professionally and emotionally.
For some people when they hear the word feedback, negative connotations will often come to mind but giving or receiving feedback does not need to be a daunting experience. Furthermore, having a feedback rich culture encourages an open and collaborative working environment. We asked Abbie Morris, Director of Organisational Development APAC for her thoughts and key points to consider within the feedback process.
Giving constructive feedback at work – what do you need to consider?
“Feedback delivered well builds connection, strengthens relationships, and creates a trusting work environment” says Morris.
Whilst giving constructive feedback can sometimes be an uncomfortable experience. Morris suggests “a little bit of preparation can go a long way and drawing on specific examples to support the feedback you are giving will also help”. It is also important to engage the individual to participate in the feedback discussion so it is an open dialogue and they can share too. “Remember, feedback in its truest form is the ability to have an open conversation with someone” says Morris.
