Employee Recognition and Feedback
Gathering feedback from staff and customers is essential to moving forward with your continuous improvement processes. It is always best to seek internal and external objective input into your business operations. However, in certain business environments, management and employees may not necessarily be connected, leading to a lack of feedback and recognition.
Here, in this infographic from Rypple, statistics and impacts of management-employee communications highlight:
- 65% feel they don’t receive enough feedback in the workplace
- 34% of managers want to engage staff and provide more feedback
- The larger the company and the higher the status of the executive, the feedback gap widens
- Veteran managers want to provide more input to staff
Key messages on feedback and recognition:
- Feedback and recognition improves morale, less costly mechanisms to achieve performance improvements
- Employees are more engaged in operations, the business and objectives when recognized by management for their efforts

It is clear that there is a correlation between constructive management feedback and employee job satisfaction, performance and morale. It’s in your best interest to ensure you implement strong feedback mechanisms and employee-management performance appraisals to help build capacities in your organization.
