May 15: Create Your Environmental Strategy

Where and when you talk matters as much as what you say.

Production floors present unique challenges for sensitive conversations - noise, lack of privacy, and time constraints can undermine otherwise well-planned discussions.

Take Action: Scout your facility today to identify three potential locations for private conversations. For each location, note: 1) Privacy level, 2) Noise considerations, 3) Availability during shifts, and 4) Any scheduling needed to secure the space. Then create a personal protocol for smoothly transitioning a team member from their workstation to your chosen location without creating undue attention.
