PILLAR 1 EFFECTIVE VOICE: YOU TALK AS A TEAM

This is all about how you engage with and listen to your employees. It is about making the effort to encourage your team to provide a different perspective, and to offer input on anything that could make a positive difference to the business and its customers. At its most basic, it is about ensuring everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas, and that they have confidence in you to deal with suggestions positively and constructively. It can also include approaches to Trade Union recognition and collective bargaining.

It is about openness and dialogue, which includes discussing any concerns people may have. It can be both informal – early morning team chats over a coffee – or more formal, which would include the opportunity to openly share opinions at personal reviews.
