Feedback – Build a culture of talking
Feedback is crucial for management, collaboration, and motivation. How we plan and deliver feedback and how often are key important to workplace relationships, team motivation, and professional development for all staff.
This training aims to help line managers to structure effective feedback whether ad hoc is part of the formal mid-term and end-of-year appraisal.
