Scenario 8.3
Canadian Fasteners Inc. has recently implemented a human resource (HR) system that assists with the recruitment and selection process, as well as administering a pension and benefits program. Included with these programs are training and development programs as well as yearly performance evaluations for both managers and agents who are jointly responsible for bringing in new accounts and maintaining existing ones. While these performance evaluations are done each year, managers and agents do not receive feedback unless they are unhappy with their salary increases or bonuses. However, HR is now pushing the need for ongoing feedback as it is a key component of its compensation process.

A) Employees who receive no feedback from their supervisors exhibit the least amount of engagement.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feedback is crucial for employee engagement. Employees who do not receive any feedback tend to be the least engaged because they are not aware of how their work is perceived, nor do they know how they can improve or continue to excel in their roles. Immediate, specific, and balanced feedback (including both positive and constructive aspects) is essential for effective employee development and motivation.
