Advice from HR leaders
Here are some common mistakes and best practices on how to avoid them.
Common mistakes
When gathering feedback from employees, human resource departments often experience some hiccups:
Asking for feedback too often
You rely on feedback to perform your job, but your response rate and quality will suffer if you ask too often.
Failing to consider goals
Asking a question without considering what you’re looking for will result in answers that aren’t actionable.
Not following up on the feedback
Asking your employees to participate in surveys and not acting on their feedback can send a bad message. Be sure you’re sharing what you learned and taking strides to improve.
