Actively Seeking Feedback

Feedback is a part of how we work. It can be a simple comment on a completed project or a more detailed and structured discussion about what we are doing well and what we could do better.

Who can you give feedback to? We can all give feedback to people that we work with in the Division of Finance and Administration:

  • Our supervisors/managers
  • The staff we supervise/manage
  • Our peers and colleagues
  • People that we interact with or rely on to do our job

It doesn’t matter what level they are, or whether our job is at the same, higher or lower level. Everyone should get feedback about his or her job performance to improve and to develop and to become more empowered. We'll get your feedback to the right person.
