An electronic badge comprises a housing having a form factor of a mobile device, a processor, and memory coupled to the processor and including an observation and feedback application. Further, the electronic badge comprises a first transceiver that communicates on a first personal-area network, a second transceiver that communicates on a second personal-area network, and a third transceiver that communicates on a local area network. An information feedback device is controlled by the processor to activate to provide information to the user that feedback has been either given or received, wherein the information feedback device is operated by the processor in response to the processor executing the observation and feedback application, and in response to the processor interacting with at least one of the first transceiver, the second transceiver, and the third transceiver.
