Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cHey Anant, I\u2019m in the middle of something important and we need to talk about your performance review. Let\u2019s spend 10 minutes and finish this.\u201d A little while later, between phone calls and emails, \u201cWe both know how you\u2019ve done this year and what you need to improve on. So let\u2019s just say that we had this conversation. I\u2019ll type out the comments in the system later. Is there anything you want to say? No? OK! Great chat!\u201d<\/p>\n

While this is a hypothetical scenario, we hear this kind of situation from our managers very often.<\/p>\n

Feedback is often relegated to becoming a once-a-year bugbear that everyone dreads and no one benefits from.<\/p>\n

Why we need managers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

But Covid-induced remote working showed us just how important frequent feedback can be. Managers who regularly checked-in with their teams, set micro-goals and gave frequent feedback ended up boosting productivity and engagement.<\/a><\/p>\n

All of this has highlighted the role of frontline managers in keeping teams motivated, engaged and most importantly productive. [<\/em>See how the Indian Army uses this to keep its million-strong force motivated <\/em><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

The Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Based on tens of thousands of interactions between managers and their team leads, worxogo\u2019s behavior labs has found a direct connection between manager feedback and team productivity.<\/p>\n

We analyzed teams and manager interactions over a 6-month period and found two distinct groups. Managers who frequently gave feedback and those that didn\u2019t. The difference in productivity was stark \u2013 team members getting feedback twice a week improved >5% MoM compared to teams who got feedback only once a month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Frequent<\/a><\/p>\n

So what can managers do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Managers with the highest rate of success with their teams consistently do these three things \u2013<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check in frequently with individual team members<\/li>\n
  2. Review each individual on their performance<\/li>\n
  3. Provide actionable feedback consistently<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    worxogo can help<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    worxogo\u2019s AI engine helps managers by identifying timely feedback opportunities based on each individual\u2019s unique performance journey. With a click, managers are able to send actionable and timely feedback, helping the team course correct or press on in the right direction.<\/p>\n

    The AI engine\u2019s behavior-shaping nudges build better manager behaviors that lead to better outcomes.<\/p>\n
