Atlanta, GA-September 04, 2024-Randstad US, a global partner for talent, today revealed insights from its nationwide survey on psychological safety in the workplace within the context of political conversations. At a time when political discussions are increasingly common in professional settings, employees are signaling a strong desire for resources that help maintain psychological safety and productivity.
Katie Birkelo, SVP, Randstad US, spoke on our latest findings: "Our recent survey brings to light how comfortable American workers feel about sharing their personal views at work. While this may be surprising news for many organizations, we are at a unique time in history where most workplaces blend different generations. It's crucial to understand their specific needs, which call for support and clearer policies as we navigate a challenging political climate."
This survey results emphasize the importance of facilitating open and respectful dialogues across all levels of the workforce and implementing concrete resources and policies that address employees' concerns and needs.
"This survey isn't about politics, but a call to action for employers to focus on cultivating workplaces where everyone is respected and can find a sense of belonging despite their differences. We're all united in the pursuit of creating inclusive environments that not only foster open dialogues but also promote psychological safety. By addressing these needs, we empower every employee to thrive, ensuring a healthier, more productive workplace for everyone," added Marc-Etienne Julien, Chief Executive Randstad North America.
