MUNCH & Learn

IMPORTANT UPDATE - ALERT!!

PLEASE NOTE: THE DATE HAS JUST CHANGED TO MAY 13, 2014 DUE TO A SCHEDULING CONFLICT WITH THE ROOM AT WVU-P.  OUR APOLOGIES FOR THE CHANGE.

Lack of feedback is the:
#3 reason employees quit and leave an organization … or quit and stay at the organization [a.k.a. disengaged employees]
#1  reason for performance problems
Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that providing regular feedback is essential to organizational success. Yet, in our minds, the word “feedback” often carries a negative connotation. Why? Because most of our “feedback” experiences focus on the “what went wrong,” versus “what did we learn,” which translates into what/how we could do better.  Effective leaders understand this distinction and the performance-improving power of feedback.  And, they take the time and effort to ensure their feedback is constructive. By consistently doing so, they create a high-trust workplace where their employees become their most competitive advantage.
Please join us at 5:30 p.m. on April 22 at WVU-Parkersburg’s Workforce and Community Education offices for a conversation about Constructive Feedback … from a Leadership Perspective.   You can expect to roll up your sleeves for some “audience participation” emphasizing the importance of feedback for your employees...  More >>

When:
Tuesday, May 13, 2014 5:30 PM thru 07:00 PM
Where:
Workforce & Community education offices
