How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing strategies to make people feel safe in sharing their thoughts. This means when someone talks to you, listen carefully. Show them you get what they're saying by repeating a little of what they told you. This doesn't cost anything but can really help.
A good way of doing this is to validate others. When they tell you how they feel or share an idea, let them know you think their view is important. Say things like, "I see where you're coming from" or "That's a good point." This builds trust and doesn't take much time or money.
If you want a place where everyone talks openly and truthfully, start by being honest yourself. Share a little about you when you goof up or don't know something. This makes it easier for others to do the same. It helps build a great culture without spending a dime!
Lastly, always make sure everyone gets a chance to speak up and feel heard. In meetings, ask if anyone has something to add. Outside of meetings, keep your door open or have regular check-ins. Showing you're there to listen is a super way to foster open communication. This takes a bit of your time but is super valuable for making a strong team.
