Psychological Safety at Workplace - 2 Days
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 two-day program equips participants with the skills, strategies, and practical tools to create and sustain psychological safety in their teams and organizations. Through experiential learning, role plays, and case studies, participants will explore how to build trust, encourage open communication, resolve conflicts constructively, and foster a culture that supports innovation, inclusion, and long-term growth.
