Six Steps for Providing Employee Feedback

1. Preserve the employee’s ego: be supportive and future oriented.

2. Focus on the problem not on the personality: be detailed and accurate.

3. Give in the amount the employee can receive: don’t overload.

Page 28: Motivate or terminate hr summit pdf

Six Steps for Providing Employee Feedback

4. Give feedback immediately or as soon as possible: be timely.

5. If either you or the employee become emotional during the feedback session you must stop the feedback and first manage the emotions; continually provide feedback.

6. Consider offering a “sandwich.”
