(8/20) The Silent Ones in Your Workforce (And How to Start Listening to Them)

By Joanne Kaldy / August 20, 2020

According to survey data, there are at least 3% of employees who feel they have no choice but to go outside of the organization to address grievances, problems, or conflicts. Although this is a small number, their concerns and frustrations could create a negative ripple effect throughout the organization.

The most common issues these silent employees seek help on include:

  • A manager’s skills
  • Abuse and bullying
  • Harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, or age
  • Retaliation or intimidation
  • Ethics or value issues
  • Safety issues
  • Performance evaluations

You can give them a voice by addressing the reasons they don’t seek help internally:

  • Fear of retribution and retaliation by coworkers or managers.
  • Fear for their own or others’ psychological and physical safety.
  • Fear of or lack of knowledge to confront the power structure.
  • Desire to avoid conflict.
