"According to a recent Harvard Business Review article, employees who work with managers who practise this kind of inclusion are 87 per cent more likely to feel free to express their opinions. They are also 1.3 times more likely to feel their innovative potential is being unlocked."

because, lord knows, every highly competitive company needs the snowflake, newbie grads to "feel more likely to express themselves" and to "feel that their potential is being unlocked."  I think i should sue my new employer. She told me to get coffee rather than focussing on unlocking my potential.

 i would also venture to guess that ice-cream parties might also make new hires more likely to "feel" that they can talk and express themselves more.

btw, that harvard business review article provides no evidence and is written by people trying to sell their own survey products. "harvard" in the title doesnt necessarily mean its good.
