Objective feedback on poor performance should be given to the employee, along with offering them coaching and/or other development opportunities to correct it. This approach allows the employee to understand where they need to improve and provides them with the necessary tools to succeed. Being overly negative or avoidance of performance issues can lead to negative outcomes, including low morale and termination of employment.
