Leader Encourages Crew Participation
Unlock your crew’s potential with open dialogue. This is an essential aspect of creating an environment where employees feel comfortable expressing themselves and sharing ideas without fear of negative consequences.
Psychological safety in the workplace refers to an environment in which employees feel confident that their contributions will be valued and that their voices will be heard. When employees feel psychologically safe, they are more likely to engage in open and honest communication, take risks, and be innovative. This can lead to improved performance, productivity, and job satisfaction.
To get participation from your crew in the plan of the day meetings, it’s crucial for the leader to make it safe for them to speak. This includes asking questions that are open-ended, acknowledging different perspectives, and making sure everyone is included in the discussion. It’s also important for the leader to make clear the purpose of the meeting and how it can positively impact the crew’s day. The workers are closest to the job and they can provide valuable insight into what can make the day safer, easier, and more efficient. As a leader, it’s essential to guide the conversation and make sure everyone is included in the discussion.
