Closing the feedback loop ๐
Happy Monday folks! This is Mariam Mushtaq from HR Brain Pickings, bringing you this weekโs first edition of EngageWith weekly. ๐
Quick reminder to beat the Monday blues: (If you are based in India) long weekend is coming up! Hope thatโs motivation to get stuff done today. ๐
Todayโs focus is on the importance of fostering a culture of feedback. To be more specific, we're not just talking about feedback; we're talking about closing the feedback loop.
Do you currently have a feedback system in place? โ๐ป |
Situational Assessment
An employee shares detailed feedback on being unhappy with the leave policy. How would you respond? |

Why Closing the Loop Matters ๐
It's not just about listening anymore; it's also about acting, responding, and communicating back. It builds trust, fosters continuous improvement, and creates a culture of mutual respect and collaboration. ๐ค
Consider this:
The management not only acknowledges this feedback ๐ฃ but also initiates a review process ๐.
They involve the team in discussions ๐จ๏ธ, weigh the pros and cons โ๏ธ.
Finally, they communicate the outcome back to the team ๐ข, explaining the rationale behind the decision taken ๐ก.
This transparent process turns a simple suggestion into a powerful tool for engagement and morale-boosting ๐ช.
When an employee sees their feedback leading to a constructive dialogue and possibly, tangible changes, it can enhance their sense of contribution and fulfillment at work ๐.
Employees donโt get tired of offering their opinions โ they get tired of their employers failing to act on them.
I recognize that for large organizations, it might seem like a Herculean task ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ to track, analyze, and respond to each piece of feedback individually. But let this not be a deterrent ๐ซ.
The key is not in addressing each feedback separately but in effectively categorizing and grouping similar feedback ๐๏ธ.
This approach allows for a consolidated response that not only acknowledges the common themes in the feedback but also demonstrates a proactive approach ๐
Go Incognito ๐ฅธ

Fear of judgment often hinders honest opinions and valuable insights. But anonymous feedback systems can help create a safe channel for employees to voice their concerns. ๐ฃ๏ธ
Close the feedback loop with EngageWith. ๐

By putting these ideas into action, you'll change your workplace to a place where everyone feels heard, involved, and, let's be honest, happier. ๐ค
Picture this: Stanley, who usually never smiles, now grinning not because of a snack, but because he knows his opinions can make a real difference at work. ๐
