Total Workplace Health Strategist

Psychological safety at work is a climate that makes all team members feel secure to take risks. Your employees feel like they can speak up and share their ideas and concerns without being mocked or humiliated. They can ask questions or admit their mistakes and not be punished or experience retaliation. Building on the strategy, “If You see something, Say something”, this presentation will cover:
- How did Psychological Safety evolve
- How to tell if your team has it
- How do you create Psychological Safety (or more of it)
- Why is it important to Employee Health & Safety
