8 ways to promote risk-taking at work Be a role model (whatever your position): Take risks & talk about them. Provide training on taking smart, calculated risks (even a short training can do wonders!). Include risk-taking as part of performance evaluations. Provide incentives ($$, time off) for trying smart, calculated risks. Don't punish employees if a risk turns out badly. Offer encouragement and practical advice to others considering a risk. Publicize & celebrate risk-taking efforts -- even ones with "negative" outcomes. Laugh at the risks that don't go well. You're still learning, growing & improving.
