Talk About It: Why Communication is the Foundation of a Human-Centered Workplace
Core Theme: Communication is more than words — it's culture in action. In this kickoff episode, Joy and Kellie explore why so many workplace issues stem from unspoken expectations, assumptions, and fear of conflict.
🔹 Key Topics:
- The hidden costs of poor communication: turnover, burnout, disengagement
- How miscommunication fuels trauma responses and mistrust
- From policies to people: what “human-centered communication” looks like
- Psychological safety and the nervous system in dialogue
- HR’s dual role: protector of policy and people
- Mental health check-in: When silence means “I don’t feel safe to speak up”
🔹Real-life scenario: A manager avoids giving feedback → results in performance and trust breakdown and stress responses.
A Joy Note: Silence in the workplace is not productive however in therapy it is a very valuable tool.
