Ah, feedback – that magic word we love to drop in meetings, hoping it will miraculously solve all organisational woes. Yet, in many workplaces, it’s as elusive as a decent coffee in the break room - You know what I am talking about don't you?
So, how do you move from wishful thinking to actually building a feedback culture?

Picture a company where employees are on autopilot, innovation is as rare as a meeting without PowerPoint, and internal communication feels like a game of Chinese whispers. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s high time to act.


The Consequences of a Weak Feedback Culture

◾ Stagnation of Skills: Without constructive feedback, talent withers like a plant left unwatered.

◾ Decline in Performance: A lack of feedback provides the perfect breeding ground for repeated mistakes and missed targets.

◾ Lack of Innovation: Without open dialogue, great ideas remain trapped in creative minds, never seeing the light of day.

◾ Demotivation and High Turnover: A workplace where silence reigns supreme inevitably drives the best people to the exit door.

◾ Ineffective Internal Communication: Misunderstandings and unspoken issues become the norm, creating a fertile ground for unresolved tensions.
