The secret to a more motivated team (that no one talks about)?

Feedback!


Giving regular, honest feedback can completely transform your business.


Not just when things go wrong—but when they’re going right too.

 ✅ It makes your people feel valued and seen
 ✅ It boosts engagement, loyalty, and motivation
✅ It can even increase productivity (and yes, turnover too)


But let’s be honest—feedback only works if it’s done right.


Here are 5 ways to make sure your feedback really lands:

  1. Ask if your team are open to receiving feedback
  2. Give it privately, in a 1:1 setting
  3. Focus on behaviours and performance—not personality
  4. Use the feedback sandwich: positive → constructive → positive
  5. Recognise and reward improvements


🗣️ Want to build a culture where feedback drives performance?
