Why Consistent Feedback Is The Answer To Tomorrow's Workplace

As a business owner, how often do you do performance reviews with your staff but lack the time to spend on the process?Do do you find yourself doing performance review meetings frequently with your staff but not being sure if there was enough change or improvement because its been too long since the last one? Developing your employees is extremely important to the growth of your business so you are probably wondering how you can do it effectively and most importantly, how to do it quickly. Good news - understanding staff performannce development is easier than you think.

Here are some important things that you can do in order to keep your employees engaged and performing at their best. First, always make sure to have a written employee handbook that outlines all the key policies and information that they will need. This should include team expectations and how their work is being evaluated. Second, establish a communication system which will enable you to give feedback to each of your employees about how they are doing in relation to their employment goals and your thoughts on their performance in relation to your expectations.

The key to providing effective performance feedback with progressive feedback is to finnd away to have regular check-ins with your employees. This way, if you do perform an annual review, it's more a matter of documenting improvements or accomplishments that they've made throughout the year, rather than having to go back and correct problems from months ago. The real benefit comes from doing these check-ins over the course of a year and continue to make regular improvements. Finally, always keep communication open and genuin. This will result in better performance from your staff, as well as their increased confidence and their relashionship with you.Regular and constructive feedback, even in the form of a basic "check-in," will boost your employees' morale, build trust amongst coworkers, and increase your employees' understanding of how their work fits in to the goals of the business. As a result, it can drive your business to higher levels of staff productivity and peace of mind and relief from having to micromanage everything, allowing you to focus on other things that are also important to you.
