Psychological Safety in the Workplace

Event description

Psychological safety is the belief that you won't be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. At work, it's a shared expectation held by members of a team that teammates will not embarrass, reject, or punish them for sharing ideas, taking risks, or soliciting feedback. Psychological safety at work doesn't mean that everybody is nice to each other all the time. It means that people feel free to "brainstorm out loud," voice half-finished thoughts, openly challenge the status quo, share feedback, and work through disagreements together - knowing that leaders value honesty, candor, and truth-telling, and that team members will have one another's backs. Learn why psychological safety is an essential condition for creating a healthy and productive work environment and how you can create a culture of connection that includes psychological safety.
