We are delighted to have teamed up with the professional body for the financial services sector CISI to create a survey to find out more about the impact banter has on us, about how we feel at work, and whether we are able to speak up about how we feel.
In the month when the Movember movement is urging us all – but particularly men – to “Go beyond banter” this seems a particularly urgent question.
Movember comment “Being a man of more words isn’t about dialing up the banter. It’s about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life”.*
And organisations have a vital role to play here; how many of us – and particularly men – would open up and talk more, if a culture of “banter” prevails at work? How many would keep quiet, rather than risk being laughed at or made the center of the joke?
Our survey will help shine a light on this important topic – and, critically, help us identify and share what organisations can do about it. Your views will really help us understand more.
This survey is completely anonymous and confidential and takes about 10-12 mins to complete.
The outcomes will be published by CISI and Focal Point and we hope will lead to a greater understanding of this issue and give us valuable insights to work with.
The survey is open until 19th November 2021, please click here to start the survey, and please also share the link widely with your network.
Thank you so much for helping with such an important area of mental health.
