Learn about how constructive feedback is defined, the associated risks and benefits, how to navigate typical reactions and best practices to use when preparing for discussions.

This course introduces a modern, constructive approach to giving and receiving feedback in the workplace. Rather than framing feedback as simply positive or negative, you’ll learn how to use it as a powerful tool for growth and professional development. Emphasis is placed on the unique value of constructive feedback and how it supports continuous learning and performance improvement.
You’ll gain practical strategies for planning and delivering effective feedback conversations, including how to navigate challenges with clarity and empathy. A hands-on practice exercise is included to help you apply what you’ve learned and build confidence in real-world situations.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
