Why employee feedback matters

Done well, employee feedback builds trust, boosts morale, and gives your teams a voice. And when people feel heard, they're more likely to stay, grow, and thrive in your organisation.

Here’s what consistent, meaningful feedback can do;

·       Improve employee retention

·       Spot problems early – before they become crises

·       Build a culture of trust and transparency

·       Encourage innovation and continuous improvement

·       Make performance conversation more meaningful, not more awkward

It need to be a two-way street

It’s not just about asking for feedback—it’s about showing what you do with it.

Employees quickly disengage when their thoughts disappear into a black hole. Be clear about what’s being heard, what will change (and why), and what won’t (and why).

How to start building a feedback culture

• Make feedback regular, not just annual

• Train managers to receive feedback without defensiveness

• Follow up: tell people what actions have been taken

• Create multiple channels—anonymous, face-to-face, digital

• Model it from the top—leaders should ask for feedback too

At P2HR, we help organisations create working environments where people want to stay. And that often starts with helping them build feedback cultures that feel safe, human, and genuinely heard.
