Feedback works, both from employer to employee, and the other way around because it makes us feel good. It reassures both managers and employees that their teams have faith and confidence in their work. The more confident employees are, the harder and more efficiently they work. Feedback is an underutilized resource. Not enough employers want to hear about their employees thoughts or needs. This builds animosity and grudges within an organization. When employees are not recognized as essential members of a company, they lose their motivation and drive to make the company a better, more efficient and profitable place. A little employee feedback can go a long way in ensuring your workforce is both confident in their abilities and loyal to
your organizational mission.
