Fear.

Fatigue.

Are you stuck in a rut that is littered with surveys? It's often the go-to channel for getting to know what employees think, but there also barriers that can get in the way of these being effective.

Fatigue is just one of them.

Fear is another. The brave face doesn't simply disappear when presented with written questions to provide our opinions.

And that can be a BIG problem, especially for men. November is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, and that prompted Kieran Innes of Stribe and I to have this conversation.

We talk about the barriers to feedback approaches. And Kieran shares a number of different methods that provide the opportunity to capture everyone's voice.

Unless we use a range of ways to hear what people have to say, we fail to demonstrate the importance of people being heard. That intention simply becomes empty words.

Are you really finding the best ways to put the feedback experience where your mouth is?
