Are There Enough Discussions Happening Between Leaders and Employees?

Employees who receive regular and meaningful feedback from their managers are four times more likely to be fully engaged, regardless of their remote or on-site work schedule. 

Meaningful feedback encompasses recognition for recent achievements, fostering collaboration and relationships, clarifying current goals and priorities, discussing employee strengths, and providing support tailored to individual needs. These conversations do not need to be lengthy; brief, regular check-ins are effective in maintaining engagement and addressing challenges as they arise. 

Discussions centered solely on employee weaknesses are perceived as less meaningful. To inspire and motivate employees, managers should prioritise conversations that focus on recognition, collaboration, goal clarity, and leveraging strengths to maximise each team member’s potential. By fostering discussions, managers can build trust, motivation, and engagement among their teams, driving success in organisations.
