How Mutual Feedback Transforms Ministry Teams
In today’s workplace, where younger generations are seeking mentoring and open dialogue, a culture of mutual feedback is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. CEO and Managing Partner, Justin Romine, and HR Advisor, Kylie White, discuss why feedback matters and how practical HR tools like reviews, stay interviews, and exit interviews can strengthen your ministry team and mission.
The Power of Employee Feedback
Feedback is a powerful communication tool that can change an organization. The webinar highlights how a culture of open dialogue contributes to a positive employee experience, leading to higher engagement and satisfaction. When employees feel their voices are heard, they are four to six times more likely to feel empowered to perform their best work. This approach ultimately leads to a high-performing culture, effective internal communication, and increased employee retention.
Risks of Not Getting Feedback Right
Failing to cultivate a feedback-rich environment can lead to staff burnout, feeling undervalued, and unexpected turnover. This webinar emphasizes that leaders should never be blind sided by a team member's exit. It also stresses the importance of modeling feedback from the top down and creating a culture where it is seen as a tool for growth, not criticism.
Practical Tools for Giving and Receiving Feedback
The conversation outlines specific tools that help facilitate a culture of mutual feedback:
Giving Feedback: This includes intentional, regular one-on-one meetings, coaching, and formalized performance evaluations.
Receiving Feedback: The webinar highlights the value of stay interviews—structured conversations to gauge engagement and identify areas for improvement—and exit interviews, which gather valuable insights about employee retention and workplace culture as an employee leaves.
By implementing these strategies, your ministry can foster an environment of continuous improvement and build a team committed to your mission.
