 "As leaders we should ask ourselves daily: 'What have I said today to reinforce the message that anyone’s voice can make a difference and that I want to hear it?'" - writes Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark in this month's Board Agenda® "It is essential that boards reflect on what their workers are telling them about “what it is like around here”. That’s not merely taking the headline numbers from staff surveys, but digging deep into the detail. Use all the data and engagement opportunities you can to listen to the silence. ▶ Who are you not hearing from? ▶ Why are you not hearing from them? ▶ Are they fearful, disenfranchised, disillusioned? ▶ What more can you be doing?" #NED #Boards #ListenUp #Governance

Freedom to ‘speak up’ to the board is the cornerstone of a healthy culture that lets workers and organisations thrive. But how do you empower people to improve performance? Jayne Chidgey-Clark, National Guardian for the NHS shared her insights with Board Agenda: https://buff.ly/47nNvFJ? #BoardsOfDirectors #CorpGov #Directors #Governance #Leadership #Ethics National Guardian's Office

News round-up: this week in governance from Board Agenda® notes that Ian Peters MBE has now stepped down from the Institute of Business Ethics, with Lauren Branston ‘taking the helm’. After her first full week in post as CEO, Lauren is optimistic for the IBE’s future: ‘I am inspired by the legacy of promoting ethical standards in business that the IBE has built over nearly 40 years. Ethics in business is not just about compliance and regulation, it is also about building trust, culture, sustainability and value creation. In a rapidly changing world, the role of ethics has never been more critical or more complex.’ #businessethics #newCEO
