Feedback should be frequent and constructive from "summary" of It's the Manager by Jim Clifton,Jim Harter

To effectively develop employees, feedback should be given frequently and in a constructive manner. Waiting until annual performance reviews to provide feedback is not sufficient for employees to grow and improve. Regular feedback allows employees to understand where they stand and make adjustments as needed. Constructive feedback involves providing specific examples and actionable suggestions for improvement. Vague feedback such as "good job" or "you need to do better" does not provide employees with the necessary information to understand what they are doing well or where they need to improve. By offering concrete examples and suggestions, employees can see a clear path for development. Feedback should also be given in a timely manner. Waiting too long to provide feedback may result in missed opportunities for improvement or reinforcement of positive behaviors. By addressing issues or acknowledging achievements as they occur, employees can make immediate adjustments and feel valued for their contributions. Managers should also consider the individual preferences of their employees when delivering feedback. Some employees may prefer feedback in private, while others may appreciate public recognition. Understanding how each employee best receives feedback can enhance its effectiveness and promote a positive relationship between managers and employees. In addition to providing feedback on areas for improvement, managers should also recognize and reinforce positive behaviors. Acknowledging when employees perform well can boost morale and motivation. By balancing constructive feedback with positive reinforcement, managers can create a supportive environment for employee growth and development.
