Provide Them Safe Spaces

Images

There has got to be a shared trust that what you have created is a safe environment for your people, because if not, it can slow everything down.Chris Chancey, founder and CEO, Amplio Recruiting

In my research, one common thread is that employees don’t always feel safe to express their true thoughts, share ideas that might be counter to the mainstream, or discuss things that make them feel uncomfortable for fear of some type of attack or retribution. Those who lead with heart make sure to create spaces in which to have conversations where employees can feel psychologically safe and protected from microaggressions.
