How to Provide Effective Feedback and Recognition?
Feedback should be timely, specific, and constructive. Use the following strategies:
1. Timely Feedback: Address issues and commend good work as they occur. 2. Specificity: General feedback is less effective. Be specific about what was done well or needs improvement. 3. Constructive Criticism: Focus on behaviors and results, not personal attributes.
Recognition can be formal, like awards and bonuses, or informal, such as verbal praise. Both methods are essential in maintaining high employee morale and motivation.
