ABOUT VANGUARD VOICES

Vanguard voices is a not-for-profit, social impact movement.

Our mission is to elevate the topic of psychological safety* on workplace agendas through a shared voice and bold action.

 

We want to help break the code of silence that is prevalent in many workplaces today.

* feeling free to express thoughts without fear of negative consequences

OUR PLAN TO TRANSFORM WORKPLACES

Addressing psychological safety at work requires deliberate, intentional focus and action. There needs to be a top-down, bottom-up, and side-to-side approach - starting from top-level leaders to front-line employees and it requires holistic solutions.

The Speak Up Summit is where we will learn from leading experts and each other,  collect workplace stories,  and start to build the Founding Community of Vanguard Changemakers.
 

STEP 1:
CREATE AWARENESS

To drive the change we need, we need to share our stories and commit to the cause. Change occurs when individuals take responsibility to establish and nurture psychologically safe workplaces, while collectively ensuring accountability to maintain these environments.

STEP 3:
CHANGE THE SYSTEM

STEP 2:
BUILD momentum

Identify and collaborate with companies ready to pursue active change for a holistic solution. Our goal is to certify over 1,000 companies in this initiative.
