How does your company help younger or new employees effectively convey ideas and feel like their voice is welcomed in the room?
David Rosenbaum, evp, group account director, Havas Media
Havas Media hosts new hire breakfasts each month where they have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with our senior leadership team. We also have a great mentorship program and village training opportunities for career development.
Caitlin Roark, HR director, Levelwing
We have an open-door policy that extends from interns to the CEO. From small group brainstorms to our Friday company-wide standup, we provide varying opportunities for all team members to let their voices be heard. We establish mutual trust early on in each team member’s career with the understanding that all thoughts are valued. This trust carries through from internal discussions to client-facing meetings.
Garrison Gibbons, head of people, Knotch
One of our core values is inclusion, and we practice Radical Candor so all employees can lend their voice and perspective. We ask that every employee give and receive praise and criticism in order to foster growth. Through this concept, younger and/or newer employees are offered the opportunity to lend their perspective without fear or hesitation, and as a result, they grow quicker and perform better.
