Employee & community voice
Exploring how organisations listen, learn and respond to the people they serve and employ.
Listening is only meaningful when people can speak openly, different experiences are heard, and what is shared has the potential to influence what happens next.
Explore insights and practical thinking from DiversitiQ on employee voice, community engagement, lived experience, consultation and participation.
From engagement surveys and speaking up to co-production and inclusive involvement, we explore what meaningful listening looks like, and how organisations can move from gathering people's views to understanding and acting on them.
