How psychological safety lowers risk in the workplace
Did you know that psychological safety is one of the most powerful ways to reduce risk in the workplace? In this article, we take a look at why it’s a game changer.
Psychological safety in the workplace is when people feel safe to speak up, make mistakes, and share ideas without fear of judgement or punishment.
When teams have psychological safety, people don’t just keep quiet when things are going wrong. Instead, they speak up early, which can prevent small issues from turning into big, expensive problems.
Creating psychological safety starts with leadership. Leaders who model openness, admit their own mistakes, and encourage honest feedback send a clear message: it’s safe to be human here.
