Providing positive and negative feedback to subordinates is necessary and beneficial to both the business and the employee. The business gains the extra output by each individual if the employees are happy and they know how to do their job more efficiently. 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.
