Feedback Without Fear
Coaching that Builds Employee Engagement and Retention
Date: TBD
About this Event
Studies show that employees who don’t receive constructive feedback are more likely to look for another job. But let’s face it, providing in-the-moment feedback on communication skills can be tricky and a bit daunting. There are several reasons for this, and any of them can lead to unintended results, which can be as damaging to the employee and the business as providing no feedback at all.
First, you may feel uneasy about delivering a negative message, or maybe you’re afraid of hurting your employees’ feelings. Second, they may not be ready to hear what you have to say and become overwhelmed or defensive. As a manager, addressing issues as they arise is your responsibility and will enable you to build capability among your direct reports.
This webinar offers the guidance you need to provide actionable feedback with attainable results that will become the basis of a trusted mentor-mentee relationship leading to more successful employees and better business outcomes.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is useful for managers who provide communication feedback to their direct reports. It is especially useful for sales managers and others who routinely conduct “ride-alongs” or shadow team members when meeting with customers.
