Is your workplace truly safe? Unpacking psychological safety in the modern era.
We’re living in a time of unprecedented change, especially in the workplace. Amidst all this, there’s a term buzzing around which is impossible to ignore – psychological safety.
Psychological safety: Not just another buzzword.
We’re not talking about comfortable office chairs or free coffee.
Psychological safety is the essence of allowing your team to speak up, challenge ideas, and share their thoughts without the looming fear of retaliation or ridicule. It’s the catalyst for innovation, and quite frankly, it’s what separates progressive workplaces from stagnant ones.
Time for Some Uncomfortable Questions.
Let’s get uncomfortable for a moment and ask yourself the following questions:
- Are your teams walking on eggshells, holding back from voicing their real thoughts?
- Are you cultivating a culture where the norm is to nod and agree, rather than challenge and question?
- Ever get that sneaking suspicion your teams don’t believe a word you say but nod along anyway?
- If someone plucks up the courage to speak up, are they being left out in the cold or have you got robust processes in place?
- Are your brightest minds silenced because they fear ridicule?
If these questions made you even slightly uneasy, we’d love for you to read on…
Is your workplace psychologically safe?
Establishing psychological safety isn’t about drafting a fancy document with HR jargon. It’s about stepping up, showing up, and levelling up. It demands genuine commitment, open channels of communication, and an authentic pledge to rebuild and maintain trust, and this has to happen right from the top.
At Trickle, we can vouch for the transformative magic of genuine psychological safety. When teams feel safe and valued, they aren’t just employees. They’re engaged, dynamic powerhouses driving both personal and organisational growth.
