Application Social safety and culture

Bring to light what is really going on.

Social safety, integrity or the aftermath of an incident: topics where people only speak freely when nobody knows who says what. One live dialogue surfaces what surveys and reporting channels miss.

The occasion Improve social safety

There are signals that social safety is not good, but it is hard to find out exactly what is going on; face-to-face does not bring everything to the surface.

What you achieve
  • Insight behind signals
  • Sensitive experiences open to discussion
  • Set direction together for desired behaviour

On sensitive topics the usual instruments fall short. In a traceable survey people phrase things cautiously, and reporting channels mainly receive what is already being reported formally.

An anonymous dialogue lets people respond without exposing themselves. They can recognise signals, add to them and weigh measures.

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Bring to light what is really going on.

    Through an anonymous dialogue, gather experiences that are otherwise hard to voice.

    Example“What makes it hard in your team to raise something?”

  2. Step 2

    Understand the underlying causes.

    Explore experiences, patterns and behaviours behind the signals.

    ExampleMany messages are about the same pattern: whoever reports something hears nothing more about it afterwards.

  3. Step 3

    Take the step towards desired behaviour together.

    Involve employees in what needs to change in how people treat each other.

    Example“What should a colleague do when he or she sees behaviour that crosses a line?”

What the dialogue can look like

A fictional example: the question you ask, what participants write and which messages get the most support.

There are signals, but the picture is still unclear.

Questions about improve social safety

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

Does this replace a reporting point or confidential adviser?

No. Those routes remain necessary for individual reports. The dialogue shows which experiences and preconditions are more widely felt.

How do you protect anonymity?

Each participant receives a random code instead of a name, and groups are only reported on separately from eight participants. That threshold is fixed; in advance you choose which groups you want to see separately.

What if something serious comes up during the session?

In advance we agree how to handle that, and we point participants to the existing routes for individual reports. The dialogue itself stays about patterns, not people.

Who gets to see the outcome?

You decide that in advance. Often the report goes to the board, HR and works council, and participants receive a summary with the next steps.
