Creating a Culture of Voice

Research suggests that an organization's degree of employee voice—or the communication of opinions, ideas, and suggestions from team members and the likelihood of their implementation by higher-ups—correlates with higher rates of productivity, retention, and employee happiness. Dr. Ethan Burris, a professor of management at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, is one of the leading academics behind this research. In this series by Dr. Burris, you and your team will learn how to assess, discuss, and improve your company’s approach to employee voice, creating a culture of open communication and enhanced innovation.
