This was a presentation at the Rocky Mountain EAPA Chapter on Political Discourse. Randy Martin, PhD, presented various questions and then had three break-out rooms for people to have 15 minutes to discuss them. The following is a list of presented questions: Reflecting on our world today, we recognize that employees face turbulent times. Social media algorithms and partisan media outlets get more clicks, views, and revenue by heating discourse and stirring the populace. Should a workplace encourage open, safe-space discussions facilitated by the EAP or other adjacent departments (DEI, Affinity, Employee Resource Groups, etc.)? What are the upsides and downsides of this approach? Alternatively, should a workplace discourage and actively attempt to keep politics as an "out of bounds" set of topics? Does an attempt to discourage discussion unfairly limit free speech and freedom of expression? Is it even realistic to attempt to set up guardrails? How do open discussions about sensitive topics align with your workplace's core values and local culture? What about the concept of Psychological Safety? How does that come into play here? How can conversations about values or politics impact workplace relationships and work output, both positively and negatively?
