Psychological Safety at Work - How to Build and Maintain it

Course Aims:

Psychological Safety is a belief that one will not be punished, humiliated, or perceived negatively for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. It has been proven to be a key – if not the most important – component of high performing teams. Studies have shown that team members often remain silent even when they believe that what they have to say could be very important. This results in unreported problems, missed opportunities, tragedies that could have been easily avoided, and great ideas never even making it to the table.

This course will offer a practical, hands-on guide to shows how leaders can build psychological safety in their teams and organisations. By creating a nurturing, performance-oriented environment where employees feel included, engaged, and encouraged to contribute their best efforts and ideas, leaders will see their teams begin to perform beyond their wildest expectations.
