We also open the session for questions after this post.
Psychological safety is the ability to share your thoughts, and ideas as well as challenge the status quo without the fear of being punished, belittled or humiliated by other team members.
One is humiliated or belittled for making mistakes
When only one ‘star employee’ or only the ideas of the leaders/manager are considered taken seriously and the voice of others is not considered important
A workplace that has a culture where employees are encouraged to share ideas and take risks. It is a workplace where there is an explicit understanding that the managers and team members are supportive when a mistake is made.
Most importantly a psychologically safe workplace is where employees feel safe to engage in healthy debate, disagree and ask difficult questions.
Many organisations are actively talking about diversity in the workplace. An organization will only benefit from diversity when the voice of minority groups are heard and their ideas are implemented. This can only be achieved when these diverse employees experience psychological safety at the workplace.
Here employees will be more open to sharing ground-level challenges, areas for product/service improvement and practical ways to solve them. This in turn will help companies keep their products/services relevant.
We often see how a lack of psychological safety can lead to a loss of good talent from the company or the workforce. The more dangerous repercussion is the underutilisation of existing talent in the organization.
If an employee does not feel like their work/opinions matter they are likely to only deliver the bare minimum and rather than be an intrapreneur (someone who innovates like an entrepreneur but within a larger company).
