Creating a culture of candid feedback is crucial for individual and organizational growth. Without it, productivity drops, communication suffers, and employee engagement declines. In this interactive training, participants will learn how to deliver challenging feedback effectively and empathetically, while also mastering techniques to receive feedback constructively. Though especially valuable for leaders, these skills are essential for employees at all levels.
