Ongoing feedback is essential for a high-performing workforce, yet so many organizations fall short in providing good feedback. And the research tells us that's a bad idea because feedback has a huge impact on employee engagement levels in your organization (Gallup). For example, managers who:

• Focus on employee strengths are 30 times more likely to manage actively engaged workers compared with managers denying feedback
• Focus on employee strengths are one third more likely to manage actively engaged employees compared with managers focusing on weaknesses
• Give little or no feedback fail to engage 98 percent of their workers

The good news is that there are great tools available in the Halogen Talent Management Suite™ to make feedback easier for managers and more meaningful for employees.
