October is Speak Up Month
October 22, 2020
October is Speak Up Month where we are encouraging managers to use this as an opportunity for discussion with their colleagues and teams. Speaking up is an important part of a culture that focuses on safety and quality, and we would like you and your teams to play a part in encouraging these conversations to be part of who we are and how we work.
Be sure to check out this short video from David Carruthers, Medical Director and Acting Chief Executive regarding the importance of speaking up and how freedom to speak up must become a part of who we are.
Our Speak Up Guardians are part of regional and national networks sharing ideas and experiences, a wealth of experience and information to help you Speak Up. You can see a list of Freedom to Speak up Guardians and their contact details on Connect.
