  4. Where Do We Go Next? • A sense of belonging is a basic human need. Research shows that strong personal bonds can promote creativity, resiliency, and even longer life spans! • A sense of belonging also allows team members to connect on a deep level. Considering that we spend a third of our lives at work, these connections are important. • When team members are psychologicallyclose with one another, this environment creates a better climate of inclusion, setting the foundation for stronger team functioning.

  10. WHAT IS VOICE?

  11. Discretionary communication of ideas, suggestions, concerns, or opinions about work-related issues with the intent to improve organizational or unit functioning. Elizabeth W. Morrison

Teams whose members feel comfortable expressing their voice… 1 Are comfortable speaking up and do not fear being judged 2 Participate in decision making 3 Engage in conversational turn-taking without any conversation domination 4 Are transparent, open, and authentic with one another 5 Welcome diverse opinions and perspectives

  13. What Does it Look Like?

  14. How Bridgewater Does Voice

  15. What does it mean to us? • What does Voice mean to our organization? To our team? • How do we use our Voice well? • How else can we use our Voice? “We do it because it elevates ourselves above our own opinions so that we start to see things through everybody’s eyes, and we see things collectively. Collective decision-making is so much better than individual decision-making if it’s done well.... It’s why we’ve made more money for our clients than any other hedge fund in existence.” DISCUSS

  16. WHY IS VOICE IMPORTANT?

Treat Others as Insiders 3 Facilitate a shared purpose and a feeling of belonging by treating others as insiders. Understand Decision Making Styles 4 By understanding different team members’ thinking and decision making styles, you can identify where communication breaks down and how team members complement one another.

  22. Let’s Have the Conversation: Our Starting Point Our team’s IHI Score for Voice • Initial reactions? • Trust: • Do we believe others will listen to us? • Participation in decision making: • Are we comfortable speaking up? • Active listening: • Do we ensure no one dominates conversations? • Transparency and openness: • Are we authentic in the way we communicate? • Welcoming diverse perspectives: • Do we provide a safe space for people to express dissent or share diverse perspectives? DISCUSS

  23. 1 Strategy 1 • Judge ideas, not people • How did the warm-up activity feel for you? • How did you feel that others responded to your attempts to influence the decision made? • How did you handle disagreement? • How can you help team members feel more comfortable speaking up?

  24. 1 Strategy 1 • To foster trust: • Communicate openly • Set expectations • Interpersonal bonds • Address trust issues • Avoid placing blame • Discourage cliques • Show appreciation • What does our team do well? • What are some areas for improvement?

  28. 4 Strategy 4 “It is absolutely critical to have both an authentic and transparent work environment.” “How can your company learn, grow, and succeed if people are afraid to be themselves, voice their opinions, and genuinely show that they care about the team? Having the company become a sort of safe space allows for brilliant ideas to flow and for problems in your company to be flagged and addressed head-on.” -- Marc de Grandpre, Senior VP of Marketing at KIND Healthy Snacks

  29. 4 Strategy 4 • Tell the truth • Clear and consistent communication • Employees encouraged to share – not just when they agree! • “What you see is what you get” mentality “How can your company learn, grow, and succeed if people are afraid to be themselves, voice their opinions, and genuinely show that they care about the team? Having the company become a sort of safe space allows for brilliant ideas to flow and for problems in your company to be flagged and addressed head-on.” -- Marc de Grandpre, Senior VP of Marketing at KIND Healthy Snacks
