“A climate where people feel safe to contribute their ideas, thoughts and even challenges without fear of humiliation or recrimination.” Professor Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School.

Levels of trust and psychological safety in a team can have a significant impact on performance. When it is present, motivation and innovation will increase. When we feel safe, we can communicate openly and transparently, and this allows us to learn and grow. A lack of trust results in mistakes being buried, and in difficulties with retention, stress and low morale.

This session will allow you to reflect on how a psychologically safe environment can be fostered and the role you play in this.
