The European OPEN FEEDBACK project is making steady progress in its mission to provide small and medium-sized enterprises with the knowledge and know-how to establish a feedback culture that empowers their employees, promotes continuous learning and strengthens organisational resilience. Based on the growth mindset approach, this project aims to create psychologically safe work environments, where giving and receiving feedback is a natural and enriching process.
The first face-to-face meeting of the consortium took place recently in the city of Poznan (Poland). During this meeting, the partners discussed the self-assessment questionnaire designed to help companies explore the internal conditions necessary to implement an open feedback culture. This questionnaire is currently in the validation phase and will be tested in different organisations in the coming weeks.
In addition, an intensive one and a half day training was carried out, with an eminently practical approach, in which the partners learned how to design effective trainings adapted to the real needs of the companies. This training will allow the transfer of the knowledge acquired to the different regional contexts, facilitating the implementation of this transforming culture in their respective countries.
OPEN FEEDBACK CULTURE is thus positioned as a key tool to support SME managers, not only in improving internal communication, but also in optimising the mental energy of their teams and building resilient and success-oriented organisations.
