Strategies for Providing Feedback

Providing Feedback

Feedback is information provided to improve performance or understanding.

How to give good feedback:

  • Be specific.
  • Be sincere.
  • Provide feedback promptly.
  • Feedback should be meaningful.
  • Relate it to the immediate task.
  • It should be about something that can be changed.

(McCarthy, 2017).

Consider these situations. How would you provide feedback to improve performance and/or understanding?

  • An employee turned in a report that is sloppily put together.
  • A new employee completed a procedure incorrectly.
  • An employee came up short on their budget calculations.
