Need for Continuous feedback:<\/h2>\n

If we look at successful organizations, we can easily see that they comprise of capable people who perform well to achieve the organization goals.<\/p>\n

Organizations realize the importance of good performance by the employees<\/a>, for being successful.\u00a0 So they give importance to performance management activities.\u00a0 Performance management starts by setting goals and then reviewing employee performance against these goals.\u00a0 Traditionally, performance was reviewed only once or twice a year.\u00a0 But current day performance management focuses on continuous coaching and development of employees and giving continuous or regular feedback on their performance.<\/p>\n

Continuous feedback<\/a> is feedback that is given by managers to employees, on their performance, on a regular manner instead of waiting till the year end.\u00a0 Continuous feedback will make sure that employees are well appreciated on their good performance, as well as corrective path is initiated much earlier, in case if there are performance slips.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Benefits of continuous feedback:<\/h3>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Eliminates problem of recency:<\/b>\u00a0 One of the main complaints in an yearly performance appraisal is that the managers remember only the past few months of employee performance.\u00a0 So feedback given does not take into account the overall year\u2019s performance<\/a>. Providing feedback in a regular or continuous fashion will eliminate the problem of recency completely.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No surprise elements:<\/b> Sometimes, employees think that they are performing exceedingly well. But, during performance appraisals, if performance issues are pointed out, it comes as a surprise or shock for them.\u00a0 In case of continuous feedback, the surprise element can be eliminated as employees are given feedback throughout the year.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Better probability of meeting organization goals:<\/b> \u00a0Continuous feedback and coaching allows managers to understand problem areas, and take corrective path as soon as possible.\u00a0 Also, any changes in the organization goals can be acted upon.\u00a0 So the probability of employees achieving the goals that are set for them is high.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Good Motivator:<\/b> \u00a0In a continuous feedback, managers recognize or appreciate<\/a> good performance by employees immediately. This motivates the employees to perform well always to keep earning such accolades.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Manager bias can be eliminated:<\/b> A system of continuous feedback can be open not only for managers, but other relevant people as well.\u00a0 So a skip level manager, a peer or a HR manager can be given rights to provide feedback. Such a system will eliminate manager bias, as views of all concerned people are obtained.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Smooth yearly appraisals:<\/b>\u00a0 When feedback is given continuously, it is much easier for managers to refer to it for completing the yearly appraisals. Also the appraisal meetings are also much easier, as employees would have already been communicated on their performance through-out the year.<\/p>\n

Is giving feedback continuously practically possible?<\/h2>\n

Well the question on top of everyone\u2019s mind will be whether continuous feedback is practically possible.\u00a0 When even once a year or twice a year appraisals seem to be time consuming and difficult to get compliance, would managers have time to review the employees work in a continuous fashion?<\/p>\n

Actually, it may not be as difficult as one thinks to provide continuous feedback.\u00a0 When managers and employees are educated on the benefits of continuous feedback, they would be willing to try it.\u00a0 Also if a simple and easy to use software is provided to record the feedback in a simple format, it would enable the managers to do it easily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
