Psychological Safety at Workplace - 1 Day
Course Code
PSAW1017
Overview
Psychological safety in the workplace is a key factor for high-performing and resilient teams. It is the shared belief that employees can voice their ideas, admit mistakes, and raise concerns without fear of judgment, embarrassment, or negative consequences. Research by Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson and Google’s Project Aristotle both highlight that psychological safety is the strongest predictor of team success, fostering openness, creativity, and trust. This one-day program equips participants with the knowledge, strategies, and tools to build and sustain psychological safety within their teams. Through interactive workshops, case studies, and role plays, participants will learn how to identify barriers, encourage openness, and create a safe climate where innovation and collaboration thrive.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Define psychological safety and explain why it is critical to workplace success.
- Identify common factors and behaviors that undermine psychological safety.
- Analyze the key drivers of psychological safety in teams.
- Apply leadership strategies to foster a climate of trust and openness.
- Develop a practical action plan to support and sustain psychological safety in their workplace.
