When you hear the word ‘feedback’, what is your first thought?

Perhaps, ‘Oh no, I’m going to be told what I’ve done wrong or need to do better.’

Or, ‘Great, I want to know how I’m doing and what I can improve!’

Or maybe, something in between.

Talentsmoothie tip

Our generational research, over the years, has discovered something interesting. The older generations Xers and Boomers are more likely to initially feel more negative towards the mention of feedback, whilst Ys and Zs will be more positive.

We think this is the reason that Ys and Zs who have Xer and Boomer managers, sometimes feel they don’t get enough feedback. It’s not that Boomers and Xers can’t give feedback well, it’s just that they don’t value it in the same way, and so, don’t prioritise it.

So, we have another question for you.

Are you making the most of great feedback to support, encourage and motivate your people during the C-19 Pandemic?

At talentsmoothie, we help businesses create work environments that enable all generations to thrive equally. We’re experts in helping organisations create motivational work experiences for their people, especially during times of change and transformation.

We LOVE giving and receiving feedback ourselves. It’s motivating!

So, we’re delighted to share some words received recently from our wonderful client, Save the Children, about working with us: 

“Justine has worked with Save the Children over several years, and over that time has built a really rounded understanding of who we are and the culture we’re trying to build. She has a thoughtful and kind approach, providing great counsel and interesting food for thought in every conversation, and is generous with both her time and expertise. We were especially grateful to Justine for her proactive offer of support during the COVID-19 Pandemic, where talentsmoothie’s ‘Check-in Survey’ and analysis enabled us to build a really rich understanding of how colleagues were coping in some really challenging times.”

We’d love to help you in a similar way. We have some special C-19 offerings, including the ‘Check-In Survey’ mentioned in the testimonial, for you to explore.
