RUNNING 1-30 NOVEMBER 2021
RUNNING 1-30 NOVEMBER 2021
Online webinar event
The event will be recorded and these talks hosted on the EAWOP impact incubator’s YouTube site.
“Silence is golden” they say, however, work & organisational psychological (WOP) science shows that it can also be dangerous for individuals, organisations and society when people do not feel able or actively withhold information and concerns. In this FoSS event we launch our new short animation that outlines how and why employee silence can arise. Four short science-based talks reveal the science behind why silence arises, how it can be detected and the negative impacts ameliorated.
Following these talks a practitioner panel discussion with leaders of HR (CIPD), from industry, and the security and policing sectors will discuss how WOP research informs their practice and leads to the development of safer and more resilient organisations. They will identify key challenges and issues. Those attending this event will gain insight into the impact of silence, understanding eight different reasons that silence can arise, and how these impacts can be reduced in organisation. They will have a preview of the new animation which can then be viewed again and used to raise awareness of the destructive role of silence in organsiations.
The event is led by Prof Rosalind Searle, The speakers will include:
Dr. Michael Knoll (University of Leipzig Germany)
Dr. Yannick Griep (Radboud University, The Netherlands)
Dr.Charis Rice (Coventry University)
Dr. Roberta Fida (University of East Anglia)
The event will be open to those in employing organisations and those interested in the topic.
