Psychological safety has become one of the most talked about issues in UK businesses. But what does it mean and why is it receiving so much attention right now?
In the workplace, psychological safety is the shared belief that it’s safe to speak up, ask questions, offer ideas, admit mistakes, and challenge existing views without fear of blame, embarrassment or negative consequences. It is about how comfortable people feel contributing as members of a team or organisation.
Psychologically safe environments have been linked to higher levels of wellbeing, creativity, job satisfaction, and productivity. By contrast, low levels of psychological safety have been associated with more undesirable outcomes, such as low levels of trust, more frequent errors, poor decision making and even the occurrence of incidents causing reputational damage.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how psychological safety shapes the way people think, feel, and behave at work. We’ll examine the impact of its absence, consider how the brain responds when people perceive interpersonal threat, and we’ll identify practical ways leaders, managers and team members can create safer and more open and effective working environments.
