Why Your Employees Should Provide You Feedback

/in

As an employer, you should be asking your employees to give feedback regularly. You can do this in a variety of different ways or during different time periods, but it’s important that they can do so. Here’s why your employees should provide feedback:

You Can See Problem Areas

If you’re running the company and focused on the bigger picture, it can sometimes be hard to drill down to what the actual problem areas of your company are. If your employees provide feedback for you, you will be getting real insight into what the problems your employees are facing on a daily basis. This information and intel is absolutely crucial to you, helping you to run your business effectively.

You Can Reward Employee Honesty

If your employees are providing helpful feedback by being honest, you can reward employee honesty. It would be hard for you to do so in any other forum other than one in which they were providing feedback. If you want to incentivize your employees being honest, you can give them the option to provide feedback anonymously, so they aren’t worried about repercussions. Of course, this would negate employee-specific rewards, but you can always reward departments who give the most effective feedback.

Make Necessary Changes

The biggest reason why your employees should provide feedback is so you can make necessary changes. If you aren’t learning from your employees and adjusting your strategies, you aren’t doing it right. Feedback is meant to be taken in, thought about, and new strategies implemented.

Improving Employee-Employer Communication

/in

As an employer, it’s your job to make sure that there’s positive employee-employer communication happening. This is crucial not only for your business but also for the well-being of your employees. Here are some ways that you can improve employee-employer communication.

Have Weekly Meetings.

One of the best ways to communicate well is to do it regularly. For some of your employees, this may involve weekly meetings. We recommend hosting your meetings on Monday mornings or Friday afternoons, so everything from the past week is fresh and ready to be discussed in preparation for the upcoming week.

Keep an Open Dialogue.

Don’t have your work be an environment in which employees think they can’t talk to you. This usually ends up being counter-productive in that they will sit with issues and not communicate until one day when they let everything out at once. Make sure to remind employees that you regularly welcome feedback, suggestions, and even complaints to help the entire office run smoothly.

Have a System to Communicate Notes.

It can be tricky to remember different notes or comments in between meetings, so make sure you implement a system in which you can remember your notes throughout the week. This could be through the use of a new technology program such as Slack, or through the use of good old-fashioned sticky notes. Whatever you do, make sure you do it well, and your communication will follow.
