Creating A Culture Of Leadership Accessibility
Team Members ultimately do
not need commands. They need
to believe when their leaders
communicate their decisions,
that they have the best interest of
their workforce in mind.
As people team/HR
professionals, we must work
to orient organizations around
our people. At Dawn, I’ve seen
how a people-first mentality has
benefitted everyone within our
organization – it has provided
us with a better understanding
of what our teams are looking
for in their careers and what
our leadership’s vision is for the
organization. This would not
be possible if leaders weren’t in
the practice of actively making
themselves accessible to our
workforce, approaching employee
questions and concerns with
vulnerability, and modeling
the behavior they want to see
throughout the company.
Our roles make us uniquely
qualified and positioned to
advocate for this type of
leadership accessibility at the
executive table, especially
given the dynamic nature of
team member needs in our
post-pandemic world.
