Feedback is a gift. I’ve been told that most of my career and truly believe it. I also believe that ingraining feedback, both giving and receiving, into an organization’s culture can be more impactful than many other concepts and processes. So, if it is so great, why are more organizations not practicing a culture of feedback? Easy answer, feedback is hard! Giving and receiving; positive and constructive. No wonder there are so many books, trainings and content about it. In this session, we will look at the root of feedback, how to deliver and receive it effectively, and how to begin to create a culture of feedback within your organization.
Our agenda includes:
• A discussion on why feedback is critical in organizations and how it can be impactful
• What good feedback looks like
• How to build a culture of feedback within your organization
Learning objectives:
• The importance of feedback within an organizational culture
• How to give and receive feedback in the way that it will be most effective
• The steps and processes HR professionals can use to build a culture of feedback within their organizations
