Getting employee voice right is vital for building a thriving and engaged EO culture. But what does it mean to cultivate employee voice and why is it critical to get it right? It’s all about ensuring every individual feels valued and heard. By fostering a culture where employee voices are actively sought and integrated into decision-making processes, businesses can cultivate a resilient workforce that’s truly invested in both its mission and the values of EO. Having a dedicated employee voice rep is a great first step, but it shouldn’t stop there. Consider the potential of elevating and upskilling these individuals to chair the employee voice group. This role can serve as a powerful developmental opportunity, enabling reps to gain key leadership skills while fostering a culture of open dialogue. By investing in the personal development of these individuals, you’re not just enhancing their skills; you’re reinforcing their commitment to the organisation. Our upcoming ‘Representing and Developing Employee Voice’ course is designed to equip individuals with the skills, insights, and behaviours needed to thrive as employee voice reps. Discover more about the power of employee voice! ➡️https://lnkd.in/e26wZSuJ Helen Moreton PCC, Course Director and employee voice expert, says: “Acting on voice builds a more engaged and resilient workforce who are empowered to be part of the solution to whatever challenges the organisation might be facing.” #Business #Culture #Engagement #Voice #EmployeeOwnership

Have you heard about the private mutualisation of the Post Office… AND how employee ownership might be the answer? A few days ago, Sky News broke the latest story in the ongoing Post Office saga. EO expert and eoa International Ambassador Graeme Nuttall OBE was invited to share his thoughts. Graeme drew from his deep well of sector knowledge and shined a spotlight on the eoa. Continuing the theme, our CEO James de le Vingne says: “Putting the power of the Post Office in the hands of employees isn’t only a means of levelling the playing field for this historic organisation but helping to secure longevity and futureproof a national institution. “We have the evidence showing us the proven benefits of employee ownership and businesses who’ve been EO for decades demonstrating this is no passing fad or flash in the pan. But EO is only ever suitable if the underlying business is robust.” Check out the news segment: ➡️https://lnkd.in/eBtXM5EE Is the EO route the best way forward for the Post Office? Let us know what you think below and keep the conversation going over on the eo Hub. We’ll be covering every development and the possibilities of what employee ownership in the Post Office could mean for the sector. So keep an eye on our website and socials. #PostOffice #EmployeeOwnership #Business #Finance

How do you set your EO business up for success from day one? It all comes back to great governance. It’s the foundation of a thriving EOB. From clear roles to transparency, it all starts with strong, well-structured leadership. But how do Independent Trustees (ITs) and Employee Trustees (ETs) contribute? ITs bring external insights, challenge the status quo, and ensure adherence to EO principles. They play a pivotal role in shaping strategy and guiding the business toward long-term success. ITs bridge the gap between the workforce and the board, ensuring that employees’ voices are heard. Understanding their role alongside ITs creates a strong, symbiotic relationship that drives effective governance. Ready to equip your trustees with the tools to excel?
