Things for teams to try: Improving Fairness and respect
Feeling like we are treated fairly and with respect can be something we don't really think about until it doesn't feel right. But there are ways to help improve our sense of fairness and respect within the team - here are some to try:
1. Share airtime fairly
Team meetings are precious windows in our week, not least because it is costly from a individual productivity perspective to down tools and gather together. Your team, like many others, is likely a mix of extroverts and introverts - those who talk a lot and those who say comparatively little. It's important to give opportunities for people to share, even if they aren't very forthright about it. We say "the quieter ones often hold an important truth" - encourage others to share those "truths".
