“We’re also seeing conflicts around inclusion. Whose voices are prioritized? How are they prioritized? What is the forum to make those voices heard?” said McCarthy Gallagher. “We’re also seeing conflicts around psychological safety. So folks who have challenges with things that are happening at work, where can they go to raise their concerns and do they feel safe in doing so.”
