Establishing a culture of openness

An HR Network event

29th May 2014

Many organisations struggle with fostering an environment in which employees feel they can speak out openly: to make suggestions for improvement, point out potential risks, and blow the whistle on malpractice. Often, the processes and policies are in place, yet employees are uncomfortable about using them in case of repercussions. If people avoid speaking out, recent scandals show that the consequences can be disastrous. How can organisations establish and foster a more open culture, to capitalise on employees' ideas and manage risk more effectively?
