EVERYDAY FEEDBACK AND RECOGNITION: MASTER THESE ESSENTIAL TOOLS TO STIMULATE OPTIMAL FUNCTIONING
Business experts agree that, to meet the needs and demands of employees, companies are currently undergoing a revolution where annual appraisal is replaced by regular and personalized feedback conversations. In addition, scientific studies show that verbally expressing gratitude to employees is an even more powerful management tool for their mobilization and engagement than material or financial rewards.
However, most organizations and managers only wonder about the feedback process (e.g., what questions should be used, how often do we need to evaluate employees, when is it better to give feedback during the year, etc.), forgetting, or not knowing, that it’s the quality of the feedback that matters. Beyond the processes and the amount of feedback given, research does show that it is the quality of the content and the way the feedback is communicated that has an effect. To attract and retain top talent, engage employees, and improve business performance, today’s managers must therefore master the art of feedback and verbal recognition.
This training will introduce you to this art by teaching you the 6 specific characteristics of optimal negative feedback as well as the 3 skills to verbally demonstrate recognition in a credible and authentic way.
