INTRODUCING

Can You Relate?

You’ve spent countless time and money on “speak up” initiatives but silence is the norm. Occasionally, someone does speak up, only to have concerns and ideas dismissed. Serious safety events persist, and unhappy employees are disengaged and leaving.

You know the situation is costing more than anyone realizes. It’s hurting people, the bottom line, and your reputation. You need a major shift, but you are not sure what or how.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOTHING?

Until you create an environment of open upward communication flow, you are leading in the dark. You’ll have unhappy employees, bear unnecessary risk, and be unable to learn what needs to happen for work to go well.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

Speaking IN® was developed by Laurin Mooney, a nurse innovator seeking a remedy for the tragedy of patient harm.

Laurin Mooney, BSN MS,

Studying modern safety science and complexity theory convinced her safety and reliability are inextricably related to a healthy employee experience. It became apparent the “speak up” strategy provides a weak, and flawed foundation for safety, employee experience, and operational excellence.

This motivated her to innovate a new strategy called speaking IN® that aligns our thinking and actions with how the modern workplace and people actually function. The goal of speaking IN to to re-orient to our purpose, value people, and create an environment where everybody knows it’s always safe, worthwhile, and even necessary to share their questions, concerns and ideas.
