What 900 Employees Across North American Organizations Reveal About Voice, Trust, and Workplace Experience
Who feels safe speaking up at work? Who trusts leaders to address difficult issues fairly? And do workplace experiences differ across race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation?
Join Anima Leadership for a free 60-minute webinar where we will share findings from primary research conducted with 900 employees from organizations across Canada and the US.
Drawing on data collected using one of Anima Leadership’s proprietary assessment tools, we will target questions related to psychological safety and explore what employees are telling us about the realities of workplace culture today.Details about this café will be available soon.
Participants will learn:
- How comfortable employees are expressing dissenting views to leaders and colleagues
- Whether employees believe leaders can effectively address discrimination and harassment
- How safe people feel requesting workplace accommodations
- The prevalence of witnessed and experienced harassment and discrimination
- Where significant differences emerge across race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation
- What leaders can do to strengthen trust, inclusion, and employee voice
This session will move beyond headlines and assumptions to examine real workplace data and the practical implications for executive leaders, HR professionals, DEI practitioners, and anyone responsible for creating healthy, high-performing workplace cultures.
Whether your focus is employee engagement, psychological safety, leadership effectiveness, or equity and inclusion, these findings offer valuable insight into how workplace culture is actually being experienced today.
