Quick Summary
Workplace psychological safety is the belief that one will not be embarrassed or punished for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. With workplace psychological safety, the focus is on creating a culture of communication and collaboration that fosters innovation and resilience.
How comfortable do you feel at work? Do you feel free to safely contribute ideas and thoughts? Workplace psychological safety is a concept that reflects how safe employees feel in expressing their ideas, asking questions, and admitting mistakes without fear of punishment or humiliation. It is an integral component for fostering an environment of open communication, innovation, and continuous improvement. Workplace psychological safety is closely tied to project work and team work and there are many similarities between psychological safety practices and the Agile method. In this session we will explore those similarities and how you might invite a psychologically safe workplace.
