Dr. Ryan Bisel has been doing really important and really innovative work related to leadership, business ethics, and employee voice. What's employee voice? In short, it is communicating bad news upwards. More specifically, it may be disagreeing with your manager, voicing concerns about policy or practices, or otherwise articulating issues up the chain of command. What happens when we have a workplace where employee don't feel safe expressing concerns? We create a culture that is conducive to ethical breaches. Little oversights can morph into larger ones quickly, especially when employees think their concerns are not shared by the majority. What then? Silence. Ryan walks us through the ins and outs of employee voice, how it impacts ethics talk, and the role leaders play in shaping healthy, prosocial work environments.
