Psychological Safety at Work

Psychological Safety in the Workplace – Training Course Overview

Creating a culture of psychological safety is essential for building high-performing teams, increasing employee engagement, and fostering innovation. Based on the research of Dr. Amy Edmondson, psychological safety is defined as:

“A belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes.”
