Welcome to a special five-part podcast series on enhancing corporate culture through a great speak-up regime. This podcast series is sponsored by Case IQ. Over this series, Tom Fox will visit with Sharlyn Lauby, Jakub Ficner, Kenneth McCarthy, and Meric Bloch on the different facets of a great speak-up regime and how each of those facets will improve your corporate culture. They will tackle such topics as the indicia of a great corporate culture, the importance of triage and internal investigations in improving corporate culture, non-retaliation and protections for those who speak up, tying your entire system of speaking up to improving culture, and conclude with some thoughts on how an entire system of speaking up drives corporate culture to be better run and, at the end of the day, more profitably. In Part 3, Tom Fox visits with Jakub Ficner on the importance of your triage protocol and investigative process to foster a culture of speaking up.
