🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A secure, third-party anonymous feedback platform that aggregates team sentiment to prevent individual retaliation.
  2. A template guide for employees on how to provide constructive, safe upward feedback during sensitive management meetings.
  3. A policy recommendation for HR to facilitate morale-improvement sessions using neutral third-party mediators instead of direct managers.

Real voices
