Five causes of employee silence at workplace

While the business model of products and services providing value to consumers exists as the backbone of any company, employees serve as the hands and feet of a firm. Employers expect their employees to not only fulfil the functional duties of their job description, but also be kind and help one another when needed, go the extra mile for the organisation, speak up to give useful moneymaking or money-saving suggestions, and raise the alarm when dangerous or unethical events could cause grave harm.

Sometimes, despite an employer’s earnest desires, the staff fail to speak up at work yet in their own personal lives those same individuals talk freely with others and share meaningful ideas.
