The other day I came across a picture that struck me as funny but also a little sad. It was a picture of a typical Employee Suggestion Box...only it was attached directly to a paper shredder.
Unfortunately this is the way people often experience employee feedback program at their workplace. Yes the leadership team asks for feedback - but who knows where it goes after it is collected?
Here's the most important thing about employee feedback - it's not just about getting feedback to employees, it's about giving them
the feedback that is critical for them to do their jobs. Both parties have a chance to speak and feel that they are heard - which is why it’s called “closed loop feedback.”
Think about almost any human activity and you quickly realize the importance of clear feedback. Think of fly fishing. A tug on the line
Employees need the same kind of feedback from leadership to go about their jobs effectively. Cut off this feedback and workers don't know if they are being effective, or even if what they do matters.tells you that you've had success and caught something. At the other end of the line the fish knows it’s time to put up a fight.
