Psychological Safety in the Workplace

Dear Colleagues,

Psychological safety describes the perception that it is safe for people to contribute their ideas and voice concerns at the individual/team/organisation level without fearing that they may be ridiculed, suppressed, threatened or even dismissed. Higher levels of psychological safety promote a culture of knowledge and innovation to improve individual, team and organisational performance. Psychological safety facilitates learning from mistakes and enhances work satisfaction. Opportunities for innovation and organisational growth are reduced in organisations with low levels of psychological safety, where fear or a lack of openness at work maybe dominant issues.
