Truth-telling as Organisational Practice: Building High-Trust Workplaces

Discover how truth-telling drives authentic cultural change, builds trust, and creates safer workplaces for all employees. Truth-telling is increasingly recognised as essential to building safe, inclusive, and high-trust workplaces. Yet many organisations struggle to understand what truth-telling means in practice and how to implement it authentically.

This session brings together research, evidence, and practical insights to show how truth-telling enables organisations to build genuine cultural change, address systemic injustice, and create workplaces where all employees—particularly First Peoples and other marginalised groups—feel safe, valued, and heard.

What You'll Learn:

  • The evidence: How the Yoorrook Justice Commission's final report demonstrates that historical injustices continue to manifest in institutions and organisations today, perpetuating harm and deepening inequity

  • The practice: Practical, research-informed approaches to implementing truth-telling in your organisation

  • The impact: How truth-telling builds trust, accountability, and authentic cultural change

  • The next steps: Clear, actionable pathways for engaging authentically with truth-telling in your workplace

Why This Matters:

Truth-telling is not merely about First Peoples' history. It's a foundation for addressing the living realities of division, discrimination, and injustice in multicultural Australia. When organisations commit to truth-telling—acknowledging historical harms, listening to marginalised voices, and taking responsibility for change—they create the conditions for genuine healing, trust, and belonging.

Organisations that implement truth-telling develop safer workplaces, stronger cultures, and greater capacity to attract and retain talented, diverse teams. They become leaders in institutional accountability and reconciliation.

Who Should Attend:

Organisational leaders, HR professionals, managers, diversity and inclusion practitioners, and anyone committed to building safe, inclusive, high-trust workplaces.
