In the screen industries, where teams often come together quickly and work intensively on short-term projects, consistent feedback from an HOD or People Manager plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy and productive work environment. Clear, constructive feedback helps individuals understand expectations, build on their strengths, and address any issues early—before they escalate. It also reinforces a culture of openness and respect, where people feel seen, supported, and able to grow professionally.

• Improves Performance: Helps cast and crew understand strengths and areas to improve, leading to higher quality work on set.
   
• Boosts Morale: Recognises efforts and contributions, keeping the team motivated and engaged during intense production schedules.
   
• Enhances Communication: Encourages open dialogue, reducing misunderstandings and fostering smoother collaboration between departments.
   
• Builds Trust: Creates a culture where people feel heard and valued, which strengthens team cohesion and reduces turnover.
   
• Prevents Issues Early: Identifies potential problems before they escalate, helping to maintain a respectful and safe working environment.
   
• Promotes Continuous Improvement: Encourages learning and adaptation throughout the production, leading to better processes and outcomes in future projects.

The ScreenSkills Feedback Template attached is an example of how to conduct an exit interview at the end of a project. It's important to tailor any questions to the specific scenario to ensure the employee or freelancer is given enough scope to address any successes or areas for improvement.
