Research has shown that when individuals do not feel psychologically safe, they do not  bring their whole self to work, they withhold contribution, become less creative,less collaborative, they self-censor and self-silence. Lack of psychological safety stop people from learning actively on the job to develop their capabilities and those of their team. Overtime lack of psychological safety impacts individual well-being. With rising cases of well-being issues in the workplace, building psychological safety can contribute to improved well-being and performance.The pandemic threatened both physically and psychologically, and given the extended time of its duration, it has left many psychologically tired from coping with the change and challenges it cam with. Individual, team and organisational productivity, collaboration, innovation and creativity thrive in a culture of psychological safety. When team members feel supported to grow, have a sense of belonging and have autonomy in their work, there is effective functioning. This session will provide tools and strategies for building a psychologically safe culture and for facilitating psychological safety for teams and for self.
