From Far to Fair: Reshaping Workplace Culture Recent events across the UK have left many people feeling vulnerable and frightened. The effects of this will be felt across every aspect of our lives and human interactions, particularly where we all spend most of our day - at work. So we’re doing what we can -  For the remainder of August, we're offering our employee reporting and support tools for free to any employer committed to improving their employee reporting experience and taking a proactive stance on psychological safety and employee wellbeing. As incredible as our cultural efforts are, we cannot be everywhere, in every moment, relying on our open-door policies. A culture of empathy should in our opinion be driven by employee tools that actually help to bridge the gap when the need arises. Our colleagues and friends will be feeling and experiencing emotions and anxieties some of us will (fortunately) never relate to. And so: ➡ Give your people the best tools. Educate, educate, educate but equally, empower. Trust and openness are then a by-product. ➡ Equip your managers with tools to document concerns early and quickly and respond appropriately. ➡ Good reporting outlets do not equal more work, it leads to a more transparent, smarter and inclusive environment. ➡ When people feel heard, overall job satisfaction and productivity improve. ➡ Learning about concerns early puts you on the front foot, tells you where and what to improve quickly and protects your talent, your culture and your bottom line. By prioritising effective reporting and support channels, you're not just addressing concerns, you're facilitating open communication, founded on trust and safety, that is not predicated on “mustering up the courage” but meets people where they are when they are vulnerable and need support.  As a business leader, you learn about concerns sooner and can proactively help and support, faster. Good for people and good for business. Our focus is to build inclusive and thriving organisations where people's opinions, feelings, fears and concerns are heard and considered fairly, without fear of retribution. It's time for heightened empathy and support. Let's stand together against intolerance and create workplaces where everyone does not simply feel like they belong, but knows it. #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeWellbeing #Inclusion #SafeguardingYourCulture Image Credit: Thank you Steven Bartlett
