As an employer you can correct your employees the right way and this is where constructive criticism comes in. So how can you achieve this.


Point out the problems but give actionable advice on them

Let your focus be more on the situation rather than the person involved

Let the issue be between you and the employee. So keep the conversation private.

Consider the timing of the issues and follow up for positive change

One thing I would always salute my ex boss is that he never shouted on any staff. He would call you aside and tell you that the thing you are doing is not good..

Express your comment in a private environment. A one-to-one talk is preferable. Focus on the problem of the situation, not the person. Suggest ways to make improvement. End your conversation with some encouraging words.

That's what I love doing. I don't talk to my staff or rebuke him openly. I call him inside and talk to him. It is called man management.

Giving constructive criticism is fine when it comes to making employees to be better. It needs to be done in a professional way. As much as possible, they need to have the data to prove one's point.

It's better to first politely tell the workers that they are doing wrong and it will be better if they will do it in this way. But if they do not understand than we need to strongly criticize them for the benefit of business.

This is what all bosses should know they need to express all anger words in a private environment or better still a one-to-one talk . They need to focus on the problem of the situation, not the person.

There is nothing wrong when correcting others. But, we need to be sensitive when telling them. A constructive criticism is the best option when dealing this kind of situation. I do accept this kind of criticism.

When dealing with people then you must develop some skills that can bring positive impact on the work place in form of advice, ruling and the human resource management on the organisation.

To criticize an employee constructively, an employer should focus on pinpointing a particular mistake, as opposed to attacking the worker. Such course of action would be beneficial to both parties as it would prompt an employee to implement the necessary rectifications.

As much as possible, let your criticism of the worker be done in private. You completely demoralize and embarrass a staff when you criticize him or her in public. Many employees are guilty of this.

This is one skill that many people do not have today both as a business owner and even a worker holding a particular position. This is extremely important to the growth of the business.

It is very important that you have facts on what you want to criticize about so that it will not look like you are just trying to find an issue in anything your coworker is doing.
