Through survey results, publicized controversy, and commentary from Human Resources professionals, a new picture of employee feedback is emerging. According to a recent article from HR Brew, “Some 39% of employees don’t feel comfortable giving honest feedback, and 44% don’t give honest feedback because they don’t think it’ll amount to anything,” highlighting a serious gap in the effectiveness of employee feedback efforts. This trend not only indicates a breakdown of trust between staff and managerial departments, it also contributes to decreased productivity, higher turnover, and a company culture of disengagement.
To combat these issues, HR departments can take a more intentional approach to communicating with employees, maintain positive attitudes toward negative feedback, and increase their efforts to ensure employees feel heard and understood.
