They are the foundation for building a true culture of dialogue and feedback within your organization. Why is this important? Through textual in-depth feedback, your leadership team identifies topics that matter to you and your team, enabling them to take action and improve your situation. ### **What Are the Consequences of Deleting a Comment?** Feedback, unless offensive, is inherently legitimate – even if it’s occasionally expressed a bit harshly. If a comment suddenly disappears from the tool, it can leave a negative impression. Deleting a comment might give leaders or colleagues **the impression of censorship**, suggesting that uncomfortable comments are arbitrarily removed when they don’t align with certain preferences or agendas. **This perception can lead to a negative dynamic in how the tool is used and may ultimately affect the atmosphere in your organization.** ### **Suggestions for Handling Negative Comments** If you feel that a comment – whether your own or someone else’s – is too harsh or negative, here are some tips on how to handle it effectively: #### **You Are the Author of the Comment** It’s great that you’re reflecting on your feedback and wish to reconsider something that may have been written hastily. Here’s how to proceed: - Respond directly to your own comment in teamecho and provide clarification. > For example: > *"The comment was too harshly worded. I want to apologize for that. However, I still believe the topic I raised is important, and I would like to discuss it together."* #### **You Are a Team Lead or Administrator** As a leader, addressing negative comments is particularly important, as they often reflect dissatisfaction or frustration from a team member. - **Acknowledge the tone** and seek input on how the comment could have been phrased differently: > For example: > *"Apart from the content of this comment, I’d like to discuss how we want to communicate and interact with one another."* > *"How could this comment have been phrased differently?"* - **Address the underlying issue**: > *"It seems the team member who wrote this comment wanted to highlight \[specific issue\]. While the tone was inappropriate, the topic itself is important. Let’s discuss it together."* ### **Requests for Deletion** For the reasons mentioned above, comments cannot be deleted directly by users in teamecho. However, in a few exceptional cases, we do accommodate deletion requests. These include: - Highly defamatory statements - Attacks targeting an individual (including names) - Illegal content #### **Who Decides If a Comment Should Be Deleted?** The decision to delete a comment generally rests with your **tool administrator**. They evaluate the comment in the context of your organization, forward the deletion request to teamecho, and take responsibility for the potential consequences (e.g., impression of censorship, negative dynamics in tool usage). While deletion is possible in rare cases, our goal is to avoid deleting comments wherever possible. teamecho thrives on authentic feedback, even when it’s challenging. > In case you want to find out more about Anonomity in teamecho [take a look at the following article](https://support.teamecho.com/en/are-survey-results-really-anonymous-in-teamecho?hsLang=en)   -

Das liegt daran, dass Kommentare eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entwicklung einer echten Dialog- und Feedbackkultur in deinem Unternehmen spielen. Feedback ist von großer Bedeutung, da es Führungskräften ermöglicht, Themen zu erkennen, die dich und dein Team beschäftigen, und entsprechende Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Situation einzuleiten. Eine Löschung eines Kommentars kann negative Auswirkungen haben, da sie den Eindruck von Zensur erwecken könnte. Dies kann zu einer negativen Dynamik in der Nutzung führen und sich auf die Stimmung in deinem Unternehmen auswirken. Es gibt jedoch Vorschläge zum Umgang mit negativen Kommentaren: - Wenn du denkst, dass dein eigener Kommentar zu harsch oder negativ war, kannst du selbst direkt in teamecho darauf reagieren und ihn ins richtige Licht rücken. - Als Teamleiter*in oder Administrator*in ist es wichtig, negative Kommentare anzusprechen und die Tonalität anzusprechen. Hole Vorschläge ein, wie der Kommentar anders formuliert werden könnte und adressiere das dahinterliegende Problem. - In einigen Ausnahmefällen können Kommentare aufgrund von diffamierenden Aussagen, Angriffen gegen eine Person oder rechtswidrigen Äußerungen gelöscht werden. Die Entscheidung darüber liegt bei deinem/deiner Tool-Administrator*in, der/die den Kommentar im Kontext des Unternehmens bewertet und gegebenenfalls den Löschungswunsch an teamecho weitergibt. Insgesamt wird jedoch versucht, das Löschen von Kommentaren zu vermeiden. Bitte lies auch unseren Artikel zum Thema Anonymität, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten." } } ] } ```
