More engagement and better performance.
Studies show that actionable feedback leads to better performance and greater satisfaction. In a survey conducted by Gallup, employees who received feedback on their strengths and opportunities for development were 10–19% more engaged than those who did not. Additionally, a study by CEB found that employees who received regular actionable feedback showed 39% greater improvement in their performance than those who did not.
Specificity is key.
Case studies also highlight the power of actionable feedback. In one example, a manufacturing company implemented a system for providing employees with regular feedback on their performance. This feedback included specific suggestions for improvement and actionable steps for implementation. As a result, the company saw a 20% increase in employee satisfaction and a 10% increase in productivity.
