Best Practices for Giving and Receiving Feedback
Show Notes

How much focus does your company place on feedback? Is your workplace built on a culture of feedback? By this, we mean a culture that makes it very easy for people to give feedback and receive it as well. 

Feedback is integral to any group of people working together. It’s key to healthy working relationships, clear communication and overall productivity. However, your company’s culture could be standing in the way of open and honest discussions at all levels in a business. 

How you approach feedback can have a huge effect on your business. Get it wrong, and you could have an unhappy team on your hands. Get it right, and everyone can move forward and build solutions...instead of just resentment.

So, how can you start to build a culture of feedback within your company?
