When it comes to creating a better company culture, a stronger sense of purpose, and personal and professional improvement for your teams, feedback plays a crucial role. 

As a leader, you want to create more trust, connection, and drive. Effective feedback that is focused on growth and not on judgement will have that effect.

  • 90% of millennials want frequent, candid feedback (when done right) 
  • 92% of employees agree that when they’re recognized for a specific action, they’re more likely to take that action again in the future.
