The symposium "Speaking Up: In, And About, Groups" critically examines the dynamics of voice expression within workplace groups. The papers presented delve into the psychological calculations requisite to speaking up (or inviting others to speak up), with a focus on relieving the barriers to voicing in groups. The presentations examine these calculations in the context of extant research on workplace democracy, participatory group meetings, and the influence of voicer and voice- recipient identities. This symposium offers novel insights into how speaking up in and about groups shapes organizational practices and employee experiences, particularly in the realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
