Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace

An important part of valuing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is psychological safety. In a psychologically safe work environment, employees feel safe to be their authentic selves, and voice their opinions, thoughts or ideas without fear of rejection or reprisal. Employees are also more likely to take risks, ask a team member for help and discuss challenges as they arise. Most importantly, team members value and respect each other�s contributions to the workplace.
