Peer review
Looking for a way to make peer reviews more structured and productive?

After you’ve filled out the template, use it to share feedback with your coworkers, for example in performance review meetings.
A real advantage of using a template like this for peer reviews is the consistency and structure it brings to the process. It ensures all topics are covered, for each peer review.
Feedback model
Sharing feedback with coworkers can be tough. Especially if it’s not all good news.
A solution? Use the situation-behavior-impact method to put together and share feedback about specific situations — without judgment.
To use this method, you begin by considering a situation at work, and then describing it. Next, move on to the 'Behavior' column where you describe your coworker’s behavior. Make sure not to add your opinions about the situation, stick to the facts. Then, explain how the impact of their behavior affected you.
COIN model
Improving our communication skills is key to helping others understand our perspective.
That’s where the COIN method is helpful. This template has four sections to fill out — and when you’re done, you’ll have valuable feedback to share with your coworkers or team. On the template you’ll find prompts to help you apply the method, so all you need to do is answer the questions found there.
