Your Business is Not a Great Place to Work if Employees Are Afraid to Speak Up

Culture is a big focus in today’s businesses. Leaders invest in perks, flexible work options, and wellness programs, which are all good things. However, ping pong tables and pizza Fridays mean nothing if your employees walk around on eggshells, feeling like their input is inconsequential, or even worse, constantly shot down.

A truly healthy culture is one in which your team feels psychologically safe to contribute and take risks. So if nobody on your team is speaking up in meetings or standing at the threshold of your office to run an idea past you, chances are good that your culture isn’t as strong as you think. And that just might be negatively impacting your business in some very substantial ways.
