At the end of the day, you need a team that is going to tell you what you need to hear and not just what you want to hear. This is only possible if you set up a culture that gives them the ability and the confidence to communicate honestly, transparently, and candidly. This week’s episode of the Scaleocity Works podcast is covering five strategies for collecting honest employee feedback!

Brian shares signs that may show employees that open feedback not welcome by leadership and how to reverse that and build a culture of open and honest feedback.

The 5 strategies covered in this episode are:

• Create a culture of positive feedback by making feedback something that is sought and given regularly.
• Use technologies such as pulse surveys to anonymously get a quick pulse check on the culture of an organization or a subset of the organization.
• Ensure the regular implementation of one on one meetings.
• Develop truly anonymous feedback channels so employees can feel comfortable submitting honest feedback.
• Execute custom employee surveys to supplement the feedback you might be getting in your one on ones.

The most essential component to any feedback is following up with an action plan and communication. Without it, your feedback is meaningless.
