Description

Psychological Safety is defined as a person’s willingness to take risks and speak up in their team, to propose a new idea or challenge an existing standard. This is the essence of diversity of thinking and without psychological safety, true diversity of thinking does not exist in the team. Therefore, Building a fearless, inclusive organization that realizes the benefits of diversity through greater inclusion and belonging, is the most important goal for any leader today – whether public or private sector. This is as true for enabling performance as it is for promoting fairness. Creating a psychologically safe environment is also essential for achieving inclusion and innovation. In this workshop, participants will learn:

  • What Psychological Safety is
  • How it contributes to team learning, collaboration, and performance
  • What indicates the presence/lack of psychological safety

This workshop will equip leaders:

  • To create a culture in their organisation and teams that will make it safe for employees to speak up, express their divergent views and take appropriate risks
  • To recognise what indicates the presence or absence of psychological safety
  • To be cognisant of what might be standing in the way of psychological safety in their team
  • What behaviours and techniques (individually and team-based) can be deployed to achieve a high degree of psychological safety
