Reimagining Feedback at Work
eLearning
Webinar
Are you noticing a generational disconnect in how your teams view and deliver feedback? You’re not alone. And this chasm is even wider between Gen Z and other generations within the workplace. Gen Z is only going to become a larger part of the workforce. Yet, they also report the greatest decline in feeling cared about at work, having the chance to learn and grow, having progress discussions with their supervisors, and feeling that their opinions matter (Gallup, 2024).
When it comes to building more diverse teams across race or gender, maybe you’ve had challenges there, too: trying to gently “call in” a colleague about a microaggression you witnessed them make, for example. Or giving feedback about important EDISJ topics without having the “right” words at hand.
Libraries are designed to be safe havens in our communities, and library employees are the stewards of creating that environment. Building a foundational healthy feedback culture can help better engage—and retain—staff. People want to work in a culture of healthy feedback. It fuels collaboration, innovation, and creative conflict—the essential ingredients of liberating and high-impact experiences at work. Healthy feedback is also the foundation for an inclusive organization where inequities can be surfaced and appropriately addressed while enabling everyone to thrive.
Join us to learn the fundamental practices of giving and receiving feedback while considering how power dynamics and identity impact communication at work. In this webinar, you'll walk away with practical tools for feedback conversations and strategies rooted in self-awareness.
