Answer 1

Ans)• Constructive feedback is information-specific, issue-focused, and based on observations.

- It comes in two varieties: Praise and criticism are both personal judgments about a performance effort or outcome, with praise being a favorable judgment and criticism, an unfavorable judgment.

- Providing constructive feedback in the workplace is a proactive way to help ensure employees are performing up to expectations and challenging themselves professionally. When done correctly, constructive feedback has the potential to enhance performance, build team cohesion and create better morale.

• Constructive feedback is essential for personal and professional growth. It is an integral part of continuous quality improvement and essential in maintaining patient safety in the clinical environment.

- The perception of feedback can interfere with professionals giving and receiving feedback, which can have negative consequences on patient outcomes. Delivering and receiving feedback effectively are learned skills that should be introduced early in prelicensure education. Faculty have the opportunity to influence the perception of feedback to be viewed as an opportunity so that students can learn to appreciate its value in maintaining patient safety and high-quality care in clinical practice.

• Constructive Feedback is an essential part of the delegation as it provides opportunities for learning and growth. Delegation is when the responsibility of completing a task is given to someone else.

- The best way to ensure this is by receiving and applying feedback from those who work around you (your employees).

• Giving and receiving feedback in the workplace isn’t quite as easy as it seems.

- Fragile egos, miscommunication, and poor timing are just some of the challenges of giving feedback.

- These challenges can easily stand in the way of giving and receiving feedback that supports employees’ growth.
