The transparency is the area of ​​data and events, the ‘ honest regards interpretations and desires. We must be open on both sides “. Sacred commandment. To pronounce it, as expected, is not the director or the CEO of some company but Italian Rochelle DiRe , chief people officer at Quirky, platform founded by Ben Kaufman that gives an opportunity for inventors submit their ideas and see them supported and marketed.

The point, however, is very clear: it helps the culture of transparent communication in the company? What Fast Company in an article called honest communication . And above all, it is an attitude applicable to the Italian?

In the United States, according to a survey by 15Five , 85% of workers are basically dissatisfied with quality of communication in your workplace. And even a slightly lower percentage, 81%, they would gladly go in a group that would enhance a different approach , even giving up other benefits such as insurance plans or free gym.

In short, the problem exists mainly in a reality, as the United States, marked by a labor market extremely fluid . In which, to put it in other words, if there is, if the tune does not click, you are greeted immediately and without too many problems. After years of demotions in fact, low efficiency, perpetual frustration and bad relationship with the managers and the boss, it’s time to ask yourself the same question in Italy . Considering also the innovations introduced by Jobs Act just entered into force, that move not just the patterns of our labor market to the North American traits. Outlines of a scenario where even this kind of elements, first in our context schivabili merely doing their job and go home without asking too many headaches, become essential to the future of their jobs.

We always ask our employees to express their opinions, even if controversial ” DiRe adds, explaining how the company where he works takes not only the meetings of the entire staff on a weekly basis but also a kind of general meeting of all workers every three months. “ Nobody leaves until it’s been answered in each reflection .”

Question: I am ready to marry Italian realities a report of this type with their employees? And above all, what is technically possible in a production constituted 95%, especially in industry and services, from small and medium enterprises under ten employees ?

These elements are then added to the ownership structures of these micro-groups, which often have a management mono or multi-family , then linked to the balance of other and often work in which relatives, children, friends . The honest communication room, where anyone with a concern or criticism about the project of a higher, the principal or another function of the company – where is sufficiently structured to have multiple sectors – may make sense?

And yet, other imperatives typical of this drive efficiency and transparency – never hide the bad news or their ideas although in opposition to the generally used and train in comparison , as he says to push the American company Kalypso toward a culture of openness – meaning that may have in a system where SMEs employ 80% of the employed?

In other words – and leaving out the few, large groups that deserve a separate discussion – an important net, heart button of the national GDP , but that often presents considerable gaps in many ways, the skills of the staff to the size of capital and technological dynamism, to what extent can have the flexibility to deal with the mutual openness among workers? Especially when the main one is the son of the nearby desk and your job is blown out through a friendship common?
