This document provides guidance on giving effective performance review feedback in 6 points: 1. Be specific and provide concrete examples rather than vague analogies. 2. Focus feedback on helping the employee grow and develop rather than just pointing out shortcomings. 3. Ensure the feedback is on issues the employee can actually address and change. 4. Make sure the feedback will add value from the employee's perspective. 5. Ensure feedback is based on factual observations and documented examples rather than unrelated incidents. 6. Use silence strategically to allow the employee to process the feedback rather than feeling the need to constantly fill the air with words.
