When Should Feedback Occur?

One aspect of delivering constructive criticism is in knowing the right time and opportunity to deliver it.
An employee that displays repeated negative behaviors or patterns should be addressed in order to either stop or further prevent it in the future.
A resolution can be found to end the behavior and prevent it from happening further without embarrassing the employee in front of other coworkers.
Informal feedback includes actions such as helpful reminder or a discussion in passing. Many managers will try one of these methods to address a problem with an employee.
