The employee gains the good feeling of positive feedback and the knowledge of getting the job done correctly through negative feedback. Most people enjoy the positive than the negative, but both are equally important. Positive vs Negative Feedback Positive Feedback Positive feedback can be given in a number of different ways. Compliments or acknowledgements of a job well done are important to employees. Hearing a compliment from a supervisor gives the employee the satisfaction that someone has noticed his or her performance.
Compliments can only go so far in motivating an employee.
After working hard for so long and hearing the same or similar compliments repeatedly, the employee may lose their drive towards excelling at what they do. Giving incentives to your employees is another type of positive feedback. Incentives give the employee something extra to work for and keep their drive to be successful at what they do. There are various types of incentives that can be given to an employee including recognition around the business. Employee of the month is one that can be handed out.
