Feedback refers to the information given about someone’s actions. These actions could be behavior, performance, or message. Usually, the goal of feedback is to help the person receiving it to improve, continu,e or adjust.
The feedback could be:
- Positive feedback – reinforces good performance or behavior.
- Constructive feedback – aims to help improve something
- Negative feedback – points out problems, often critically
- Formal feedback – structured, often written, or scheduled
- Informal feedback – casual or spontaneous
Feedback is essential for two-way communication. It shows that a message was received and understood, allowing for clarification, adjustment, and continuation of the communication.
