Only 58% of employers think they give enough feedback and 65% of employees want more feedback. This shows that there is a communication breakdown between employers and employees. 

Traditionally, employees were given their assigned tasks and trusted to complete their work with little or no guidance with the known trust that they would successfully complete any and all tasks. Nowadays a higher percentage of employees say they would like more feedback meaning, it is important to engage with employees during their day to day work life. Increasing the level of communication between managers and employees could result in an increased level of productivity. In return, this could allow for a more effective workplace and in turn result in a higher level of success for the business.
