Writing Constructive Feedback

Increase the development, retention, and productivity of team members with strategic feedback.

Why constructive written feedback is important

A key responsibility of managers is to help team members do their job as effectively as possible. Feedback, when done right, gets your points across to others in a constructive, supportive manner that serves to motivate, positively reinforce, and support growth.

What participants will learn

Participants will learn to deliver specific, actionable feedback using our reader-centered writing process. This includes strategies for writing reviews that foster growth, dealing with specific behaviors, illustrating feedback with examples, being personable, using a positive approach to turn negatives into positives, being non-judgmental, and choosing the right words, content, and tone.

The benefit

Managers' ability to provide clear and constructive written feedback, whether it’s corrective or supportive, will ultimately increase the development, retention, and productivity of their direct reports.
