The Power of Feedback in the Workplace: Insights from Cognitive Sciences
Interacting effectively with team members or managers requires being able to provide meaningful feedback — and to receive it in turn. By receiving feedback, our counterparts can validate their actions, confirm their choices, adjust their knowledge, beliefs, tasks, and objectives, or solve problems. Feedback is therefore a powerful lever for progress and learning.
Yet receiving feedback isn’t always easy: often perceived as criticism or judgment, it can trigger unpleasant feelings that make us dread such situations. Conversely, certain workplace conditions can make feedback easier. Psychological safety—defined as a non-threatening social environment where individuals can speak freely and take initiative, even when expressing divergent ideas or opinions, without fear of negative consequences—is a prerequisite for giving and receiving feedback more openly. Constructive feedback then becomes a key lever for turning errors into learning opportunities and fostering persistence, adaptability, and innovation.
Combining theoretical insights in cognitive sciences and interactive experiences, this webinar explores the mechanisms underlying feedback and provides practical tools to give and receive it more constructively in the workplace.
