Understanding and using feedback

Feedback that drives performance

Library:
Layers:
  • Manager
  • Line Manager
  • Employee

Build feedback into everyday management.

When feedback is vague, delayed, or inconsistent, performance drifts for longer than it should. Managers avoid difficult conversations, one-to-ones become status updates, and employees get mixed signals about expectations. Issues are stored up for formal reviews, which creates frustration, weak accountability, and slower correction under growth pressure.

This Playbook helps Managers, Line Managers, and Employees use feedback as part of day-to-day performance management. It shows leaders how to improve feedback quality across teams, equips managers to use different feedback types well, and helps employees receive, clarify, and act on feedback so progress happens earlier and more reliably.

Business Impact

What your organisation will gain

The measurable outcomes this playbook delivers at an enterprise level and the case for investing in it.
    Earlier course-correction across teams, reducing avoidable drift, review surprises, and the time managers spend unpicking issues that should have been addressed sooner.
    Better quality one-to-ones and check-ins, with clearer standards, stronger follow-through, and more conversations that lead to visible action.
    Stronger consistency in feedback across managers, improving fairness, employee confidence, and the quality of evidence available for later performance decisions.
    Employees who can use feedback productively, leading to faster improvement, less defensiveness, and better day-to-day execution in changing conditions.
