The next factor in the work environment that can be a catalyst or a barrier for learning transfer is performance coaching. That is the extent to which an individual receives feedback and coaching to support behavioural change or improve work performance. Timely, consistent and constructive coaching and feedback from colleagues in the work environment, peers, team members, managers, subordinates can give learners support and clear direction, which is often needed when applying new skills, ability, or behavior on the job. This kind of clear and timely feedback helps individuals understand how others view their behavior. How well are they doing? How could they better meet expectations? And how can they adapt to a challenging environment? An environment where there is positive, constructive and supportive feedback fosters an individual's motivation to transfer their learning and helps turn the workplace into a learning environment. Feedback, given correctly helps to close the gap between current performance of behavior and the desired full application of what has been learnt. Social support is critical for successful transfer. And there's a gap between feedback and our goal. We strive to reduce that gap. The effectiveness of feedback centers around the attention or awareness created about the situation at the appropriate level. Feedback on performance combined with understandable and practical information as to how to improve supports behavioural change. Any feedback given should be to help the recipient develop and learn. It should be prepared and precise, not general or vague. It should focus on observed behaviour. It should be both positive and negative and adapted to match the recipient's situation and personality. All feedback should be based on standards and goals understood and accepted by the recipient. If the business environment the learner finds himself in is not responsive or supportive, then learning professionals can set up social networks, or pair learners with buddies, or introduce transfer support systems which track individual's transfer challenges. Social networks, buddy systems and transfer systems support the exchange of transfer ideas and give one another feedback on efforts. Social networks can be set up formally or informally through platforms of social media and there can be structured sessions facilitated by trainers or follow-up coaching. Performance coaching in a supportive environment where individuals can express fear, play with new ideas and learn from mistakes is a real catalyst when transferring learning.
