Creating a Psychologically Safe Workplace – CMI Level 7
In the midst of economic and business uncertainty, change is the only constant. In these uncertain times, there is a significant need for leaders to identify personal strategies for their own physical and emotional resilience and be able to promote these behaviours across their organisation. This can only happen if organisations create psychologically safe places.
What exactly is psychological safety?
It’s a term that’s used a lot but is often misunderstood. In this training piece, we answer the following questions:
- What is psychological safety?
- Why is psychological safety important?
- How has the idea evolved?
- How do you know if your team has it?
- How do you create psychological safety?
- What are common misconceptions?
The Creating a Psychologically Safe Workplace course has been designed to equip leaders with the practical skills, techniques and tools to perform more resiliently and support the teams to do so through ensuring psychologically healthier and safer environments, for themselves and their employees.
Psychologically safe organisations overcome an ever-evolving, complex and challenging environment whilst driving performance and growth.
