Abstract:
Feedback is a necessary and important part of career growth, and feedback from peers is shown to improve everything from job performance to quality outcomes. So why is feedback so hard to give and receive? This month's Magnet Perspectives examines the role of feedback in the workplace; why peer feedback programs are gaining traction, especially in nursing; and how your organization can benefit from a formal, systematic peer feedback process. The column also explores how the Magnet environment promotes peer feedback and offers tips to help you create a successful program that fosters openness and communication.
