Webinar Description

Effective feedback is a major factor of staff satisfaction in the workplace. If feedback is not substantive and geared towards professional development and growth, motivation, morale, and productivity can decrease, leading to burnout, staff turnover, and poor program outcomes. Using principles of functional feedback, employees at any level of an organization can deliver and receive feedback that promotes positive workplace growth. This webinar will focus on delivering and receiving feedback with positive intent – even in negative situations – and building leadership skills at all organizational levels. Relationships between job coaches and employers of individuals served will be specifically discussed.
