Employee Carry-Ons: Unpacking, Understanding, and Making Room for What Employees Bring to Your Organization

We often bring a carry-on with us when boarding a flight. We’re asked to ensure the size and weight of our carry-ons are within the airline’s parameters, and in return the airline guarantees space for our items.

Similarly, our people bring their own carry-ons to work every day filled with items from their previous employment: cultural norms, role expectations, management styles, and even preferred technology. Some carried experiences are more negative: micromanaging bosses, an overbearing hustle culture, or gossiping coworkers. We might even find tucked away in a zipper pocket items like mistrust, unprocessed anger, or self-doubt and low self-esteem.

These carry-ons can affect employees’ attitudes and feelings towards their current organization or team and may even impact their overall performance. So how can leaders create an environment where their colleagues have room to fly with their carry-ons?
