Statistics show that millennials learn best through feedback but currently managers and their millennial workers disagree on what feedback is. Managers believe it to be a weekly or monthly performance review, whereas millennials are really asking for lightweight signals of positive and negative sentiment. Feedback is important to get right because it can have a direct impact on how a person performs, however if the feedback is misunderstood this could cause a negative reaction. Feedback should directly communicate areas where an individual is doing well and praise them for this, and areas which could be improved and offer them guidance. Good feedback will motivate individuals to develop and achieve their goals.

ShinWa Marketing has offered successful ways that mangers can provide good feedback:

Emphasize learning and growth

Instead of praising millennials for a single action, try relating feedback to a process. This encourages employees to think about what they could do better in the future. "If you always tell workers they are brilliant, it implies they've made it and they will not continue to develop," states ShinWa Marketing. By simply altering this feedback to define next steps, it forces an employee to think ahead and stops them from becoming stagnant.

Don't just rely on performance reviews

Millennials need more than a weekly or monthly performance review. Instant feedback that is shorter and takes less time than a performance review is a quick solution to the constant need to offer feedback. Something as simple as cheering for an individual that has achieved something can quickly encourage and offer positive reinforcement to workers.

Bring transparency to goals

Tracking goal progress can add a layer of transparency and alignment. Begin by setting quarterly goals and creating a reporting system to track and align individual goals with business initiatives.
