Many organisations do not consider whether they have enough measures in place to ensure a speak-up culture. Encouraging employees to blow the whistle safely requires the leadership to consider whether they have created an environment in which their employees feel safe. A number of interventions are needed to guard against a culture of silence.
The voices behind our beliefs

We are often quite unaware of how our belief systems are influenced by various external factors, and how those beliefs may impact on our decisions and actions. Not interrogating information that we are being fed on a daily basis could quite easily lead to a skewed view of reality, which may lead to inappropriate decisions or actions. Reflecting on how we have come to our conclusions should be standard practice for leaders.

The Johannesburg Bar (in fact all GCB Constituent Bars) of which I have been a member for many years and served as Chair of its Ethics Committee, Transformation Committee & Bar Council, need this talk. I’ve heard of women who’ve been victimised by men but won’t come forward for fear of further victimisation. It seems endemic.
But the people you need to talk to is not the Bar but the women in it.
Thank you SC. Could you put me in touch with some of the women who would be willing to talk to me?
