continuous feedback

Continuous feedback is the workplace practice of giving and receiving regular, ongoing comments on a person's work and development throughout the course of work, rather than only at formal review times.

In plain English

It means people share comments about work and growth as the work is happening, not just during scheduled evaluations. The exchange goes both ways and happens regularly over time.

In context

Here, "continuous feedback" names the ongoing practice the workplace encourages between formal review periods.
