Getfeedback June 2011 Newsletter

Turning feedback into action…

As part of your ambition to become a high performing organisation, you may have undertaken a behavioural competence assessment, perhaps through a 360 degree feedback or a development centre but what happens after the feedback?

Getfeedback work with our clients to ensure that this valuable feedback is translated into behavioural change. We offer a range of development activities and tools in the form of soft skills courses, workshops designed around high performance behaviours and a series of learning guides with suggested development actions. All of these interventions can be bought off the shelf or tailored to your requirements.

Contact a member of the Getfeedback team to discuss how we can turn your organisation's development objectives into action! Or access our website to find out more about the benefits of our behavioural learning guides.
