We believe that the art of giving and receiving feedback is a pivotal skill for anyone who wants to make a difference.
Giving sincere compliments and constructive feedback are the backbones in creating and developing strong collaborative relationships, improve individual and team performance and ultimately business result. With the support of this app team members give each other specific feedback : they are also able to ask for specific feedback.
In time and with practice feedback as a skill becomes like brushing teeth: you don’t think about it, you just do it…
The KOOTSJ-feedback App is available for Windows, I-phone, Android, tablet and desktop. A username and password provide access to the App.
If you’d like to experience this App’s ease of use for yourself, we’d be delighted to demonstrate it to you in person. Please do not hesitate to contact us for an appointment.
Proven, distinct and specific feedback in teams.
The App’s menu supports giving distinct and specific feedback. The receiver has time before responding or reacting to the feedback. Therefore, the feedback conversation runs smoother and much more constructively.
Managers monitor the process online. They have access to information on the frequency of giving, receiving and requesting feedback on an individual level. Team members who struggle receive specific coaching.
