Open with Empathy
Before launching into concrete feedback, it is important to check in as human beings.
A simple check-in like "Hey, how are you?" opens the conversation to the possibility of real feedback.
Opening with empathy also means acknowledging the uncertainty and stress that your team may be experiencing. If your team members are worried about job security, it is important to both address their fears and clarify the focus of your feedback.
It is also important to make clear that the feedback you are giving is specific to their performance.
