It might sound like a silly theme to celebrate, but the origins of 'Ask a Stupid Question Day' are honourable. During the 1980s, a group of American teachers realised their students weren't asking questions for fear of being ridiculed. They designated a day especially for this, to encourage a safe way for their students to open up and share their curiosity with the class without fear. Could your organisation benefit from a dedicated safe space for employees who may be shy or assume their question is trivial? This can provide valuable insight into areas that may be lacking communication within the workplace and allow you the feedback you need to improve. A workplace Questions & Suggestions box can be a great way to keep this anonymous and available year-round if you feel some employees may be holding back ideas or questions and need to be further supported. Asking questions encourages us all to learn from one another and acquire new knowledge, and can open up some interesting discussions. One person's stupid question could be another person's revelation!
