Feedback contributes to improvement, productive changes, effectiveness, clear direction, an open culture, and, ultimately, success. Yet 95% of managers are unhappy with their performance review/management system and 59% of employees polled said that performance reviews are not worth the time.

We are on a mission to change those perceptions!

Effective feedback is about support and improvement, and a high-energy, positive work environment sets a dynamic tone and culture for employees and retail customers alike.

Every step of the feedback process sends signals that the culture of your organization is changing, becoming more open and innovative.

Join Marjorie Mauldin (LinkedIn profile) and learn to:

1. Assess feedback skills and recognize the role of feedback in continual improvement
2. Create the appropriate attitude and approach for providing feedback
3. Check purposes for sharing feedback and What’s In It For Them (WIIFT)
4. Consider how cultural, gender, generational differences, and location affect the approach to giving feedback
5. Share feedback that is specific, observable, and increases the receiver’s receptiveness
6. Close the feedback exchange with a shared understanding of the next steps for improvement

Leaders expect your learning efforts to do more with less; do it better; and to do it faster.

They also expect learning to deliver business-value results while minimizing disruptions to operational processes.

In this unique session, participants will explore how to integrate e-learning and the proper use of learning technologies with the context of the Lean business methodology known as Lean learning.

Learning leaders collaborate to seamlessly integrate their learning efforts into existing Lean operational processes. Doing so minimizes disruptions, increases productivity, lowers costs, and captures learning opportunities immediately, improving business performance.

• Integrate current e-learning initiatives into a Lean learning process
• Ensure learning deliver efficient and valued business results
