What is an example of professional feedback for employees? ›

“I'm really happy with how detail-oriented you were in this task. I understand it wasn't an easy project, but I was confident that you could do it well. Your attention to detail makes it clear that you can continue to take on new challenges and grow with the company. We really value all your extra efforts.”

Make it a Teachable Moment

So instead of just saying your title, explain something he or she might not know about your work or industry. Talk about the void in the market that you are filling. Talk about the latest thing happening in your industry. Talk about the most interesting thing you've learned lately.

When someone tells you what they do for a living, respond with “Wow - That's Impressive!” Showing enthusiasm and acknowledging their hard work is extremely flattering.

“I really appreciated how you used check-ins to keep me up to date on your project this week. It helped me coordinate with our stakeholders, and I'm excited to share that we're on track to launch. It's also great to see your process. I'm impressed with the efficiencies you're learning.”

General negative words – These include words such as words such as “no”, “can't”, “couldn't”, “didn't”. It really is true that hiring managers do not want to hear the word can't.

Sample Answer for Weaknesses in an Interview:

“I've noticed that I tend to be overly critical of my work at times, striving for perfection. While this attention to detail is generally beneficial, it can sometimes slow down projects.

First, make sure you understand the question

It's important to listen carefully, then pause for a moment and reflect. Make sure that you understand the question clearly before you answer it. If you're not clear about the question, ask a clarifying question of your own.

The formally correct response is to say the same words back: “How do you do?” You say this only on the first occasion that you meet the other person. When you meet them again you can say, “How are you?” to which the answer is “Fine/Well, thanks, and you?”

How is the work response? ›

Example Responses to "How is Work?" If you're happy with your job, show your enthusiasm by saying, “Work has been really great,” or “I've really loved my job recently.” When work hasn't changed much, give a neutral response like, “Work is alright, but nothing has changed,” or, “It's been fine.”

Here are a few tips for answering emails professionally

Stay on topic: Keep your responses focused and avoid including unrelated information. Be concise: Use clear and concise language to get your point across. Avoid using unnecessary words or overly complex sentences.

Add a brief and friendly sentence: Instead of just replying with "Ok," you can include a short sentence to show appreciation or understanding. For example, you can say, "Ok, thanks for letting me know!" or "Ok, I understand" [1].

In professional scenarios, it's paramount to use suitable phrases and maintain a respectful demeanor when replying “thank you”. Various phrases can be used, including “I am pleased to have been of help”, “It was my pleasure”, or a simple “you're welcome”, depending on the situation's formality and the recipient.

"You're a dependable team member whom we can always count on to complete high-quality work promptly." "Your consistent performance and ability to be relied upon in a variety of situations truly set you apart." "You have shown a remarkable level of responsibility and dependability, especially in challenging situations."

“You excel in so many areas of this job, and your contributions are invaluable. However, we notice that you could benefit from further developing your [name of skill]. We would happily provide you with additional resources to master this skill.” This constructive feedback example is supportive and solution-oriented.

To create productive, digestible feedback, make sure it's clear, empathetic, and actionable. Give examples of when their work or behavior wasn't ideal, and provide clear, achievable goals for follow-up. Also, point out accomplishments and emphasize why the feedback is important.

I just wanted to acknowledge that I've seen such a positive change in your performance since your last performance review. You're very committed and I appreciate how engaged you are in helping the team find solutions.
