Feedback culture – seven practical tips

Here are Patrick’s seven practical tips:

Patrick Blom - Feedback culture
Patrick Blom, Operative Technical Consultant, a SHOPMACHER for 12 years.

1. exemplify feedback from above

Managers should actively give feedback and be open to feedback themselves. When managers value feedback, employees do too.

2. enable regular feedback

Use fixed feedback routines, e.g:

    • Weekly 1:1 meetings
    • Quarterly Reviews
    • Feedback rounds after projects

3. combine positive & negative feedback

Don’t just express criticism! Praise and recognition are just as important for building motivation and trust.

4. formulate constructively & solution-oriented

Instead of “That was badly done” better:
“I noticed that there was a challenge here. Do you have any ideas on how we can improve it next time?”

5. create psychological safety

Employees need to feel safe to give honest feedback without fear of negative consequences.

6. use anonymous feedback options

Some people are afraid to give feedback directly. Tools such as anonymous surveys or digital feedback boards help to obtain honest opinions.

7. integrating feedback into the corporate culture

Make feedback a natural part of everyday working life – in meetings, project reviews and daily communication.
