Feedback: Why you need it

In this ever-changing world, businesses need to find ways to stay on top of everything that's happening, or they risk falling behind the competition.

That's where feedback comes in – and not just from consumers. Collecting feedback through satisfaction questionnaires from staff is important too, considering they are one of the most significant driving forces behind your company.

Why your business needs feedback

Too often, companies who do not seek regular feedback from staff and clients work from a more intuitive business strategy. While this can work in rare cases, for the vast majority, actually finding out in clear terms what people want is important. 

Without seeking clear feedback, problems can go unchecked and there is less scope to learn from mistakes. How can you rectify a problem or walk away having learnt a lesson when you don't even know about it?

It's also a great way of keeping ahead of the curve when it comes to your competitors. Innovative companies are always adapting to what people want from them, whether that means launching a new product, making changes to another, or using a new social media platform. The more you know, the better equipped you are to evolve and remain relevant to your customers.

When it comes to keeping staff on board and satisfied in their roles, collecting and taking notice of their comments is essential. Otherwise, there is a risk of creating tension in the workplace and a high staff turnover, problems that are clearly detrimental to your business and its finances.
