Six quiet questions
Every person at work asks these. Most never say them out loud.
Read each one slowly, and answer it for the person with the least power in your organisation.

Can I Speak Up?
Can I raise a concern, ask for help or challenge an idea without fear?
-
Am I Trusted?
Am I given the ownership, autonomy and responsibility to do my work well?
-

-
Am I Treated Fairly?
Are expectations, opportunities and standards applied fairly across roles, levels and hierarchy?
