Psychological safety can increase company innovation, drive great work culture and foster more resilient employees.\n\nThis free psychological safety survey will help you assess your team and provide feedback on:\n\n\n<ul class=\"listitem\">\n \t<li>Team learning climate<\/li>\n \t<li>Team learning behaviour<\/li>\n \t<li>Team learning outcomes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<strong>Download your free survey template now.<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group content-wrapper content-single-content_secondary_container wysiwyg has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>What exactly is psychological safety?<\/h2>\nPsychological safety can be described as the ability to feel confident having difficult conversations in the workplace without tiptoeing around the truth.\n\nIt&#8217;s also the concept that if an employee were to make a mistake, they would not feel judged, penalised or thought less of in the workplace.\n\nResearchers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/02\/28\/magazine\/what-google-learned-from-its-quest-to-build-the-perfect-team.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google&#8217;s 2015 Project Aristotle<\/a> found the ability to positively influence group norms can dramatically <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/emotional-intelligence-in-the-workplace\/\">improve a team&#8217;s collective intelligence<\/a> and productivity. Norms within a team establish how members will interact, communicate and behave.\n\nFor example, norms which foster psychological safety are:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Be respectful, and treat one another with dignity<\/li>\n \t<li>Be open and honest with how you&#8217;re feeling, any challenges you may be facing or ideas you may have<\/li>\n \t<li>Listen to understand &#8211; acknowledge those who are speaking<\/li>\n \t<li>Practice open-mindedness and empathy<\/li>\n \t<li>Support each other without judgement or conflict<\/li>\n \t<li>Problems should always be discussed and resolved<\/li>\n \t<li>It&#8217;s okay to make mistakes or not have all the answers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why foster a culture of psychological safety in the workplace?<\/h2>\nIn 2019, the <a href=\"https:\/\/media.predictiveindex.com\/legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/2019_People_Management_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">People Management Report<\/a> found that managers who foster a psychologically safe work environment face lower rates of employee turnover.\n\nThe general consensus? <strong><em>Providing a level playing ground between staff and management can help retain top performers &#8212; and who doesn&#8217;t want that?<\/em><\/strong>\n\nThis also <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">increases employee engagement<\/a> as people feel motivated to share thoughts, ideas and opinions freely.\n<h2>Identifying your current level of psychological safety in the workplace<\/h2>\nIt&#8217;s important to identify the current level of psychological safety in your workplace to determine areas for improvement.\n\n<em>How<\/em>? Keep an eye out for signs of judgement, verbal harassment, unsolicited advice, gossiping or interruptions when someone is speaking. Body language is also extremely important.\n\nIf team members are disengaged or making disapproving facial expressions when others are speaking, these are signs of low psychological safety.\n\nIf you wish to counteract such behaviour, leading psychologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danschawbel\/2013\/04\/21\/brene-brown-how-vulnerability-can-make-our-lives-better\/#4e79c81636c7\">Bren\u00e9 Brown<\/a> recommends shaping behaviours that are reflective of a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/diversity-inclusion-handbook\/\">diverse and inclusive culture<\/a>. That way teams will feel confident enough to speak freely, challenge existing assumptions and offer creative ideas. <strong><em>Be the change you want to see.<\/em><\/strong>\n\nTo build a psychologically safe working environment for your team, you must recognise the role you play in creating it. In times of change and uncertainty, employees need a safe space which provides a sense of comfort and security.\n<h2>How to build a psychologically safe workplace<\/h2>\nNow, more than ever is the time to reflect on areas in your workplace in need of improvement. Ready to get to business and create a psychologically safe workplace where your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-inspire-a-team-at-work\/\">team can thrive?<\/a>\n\nLet&#8217;s dive into some changes you can make to build a psychologically safe workplace.\n<h3>1. Change the mindset around failure<\/h3>\nIt&#8217;s more than likely that we&#8217;ve all experienced a time when we felt nervous or anxious to speak up in a meeting. Going out on a limb to suggest a new idea, challenge existing assumptions or questioning a senior decision involves a sense of vulnerability.\n\nIn times like these, it&#8217;s normal to ask yourself:\n<ul>\n \t<li>&#8220;What if they think my idea is ridiculous?&#8221;<\/li>\n \t<li>&#8220;What if my idea fails?&#8221;<\/li>\n \t<li>&#8220;Is my opinion is wrong?&#8221;<\/li>\n \t<li>&#8220;What if I irritate my boss and lose my job?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn all of these questions, there is one clear message \u2014 we are fearful of failing. Humans tend to fear the consequences that may follow if we fail to succeed. If we believe only negativity can come from our mistakes, we create an environment that is psychologically unsafe.\n\n<strong><em>But what if we decided to change our ways of thinking around failure, and it made it into something constructive?<\/em><\/strong> As the old saying goes, &#8216;It&#8217;s not about the destination; it&#8217;s about the journey&#8217;.\n\nIn a nutshell, it&#8217;s about looking at failure in a new light as something that can be welcomed rather than rejected.\n<h4>How do you change this mindset?<\/h4>\nDuring planning meetings or daily stand-ups, encourage open dialogue around any identifiable gaps in performance. That way everyone can express how they are feeling in regard to each task and reach out if they&#8217;re in need of any support.\n\nMake sure you inform them that this is a safe space free of judgement.\n\n<strong>Top hint: <\/strong>Try sharing your own failures with your team so they can feel a sense of commonality.\n<h3>2. Show you trust and respect those around you<\/h3>\nIt&#8217;s easy to get the idea of psychological safety confused with trust. Although the two ideas go hand in hand, they are different in nature. On one hand, trust refers to providing others with the benefit of the doubt when you take a risk.\n\nFor example, telling someone a secret can be perceived as a risk, however, your trust in them means you believe the information will be kept safe.\n\nOn the other hand, psychologically safety revolves around other people providing you with the benefit of the doubt when taking a risk and making yourself vulnerable. A perfect case would be stating your opinion in a meeting and relying on those present to not pass judgement.\n\n<strong><em>Trust is something you give; psychological safety is something you receive.<\/em><\/strong> Showing your team that you trust and respect their thoughts, feelings, voice and opinions can help them to feel comfortable in the space they are in.\n\nSo if you want to foster a psychologically safe workplace for yourself, you must ensure you&#8217;re offering others a safe place to share their ideas.\n<h3>3. Embrace positive conflict<\/h3>\nConflict, much like failure, is typically viewed in a negative light. When we think of conflict, we picture two people in a heated argument with their arms folded, lips pursed, and brows pulled together. When it comes to work, we can&#8217;t guarantee we&#8217;ll always agree with what our colleagues have to say.\n\nIn a psychologically safe workplace, we want to encourage everyone to say what they think and feel.\n\nIf carried out poorly, workplace conflict can leave people feeling upset, isolated and ostracised by the rest of the team. For this reason alone, it is crucial to open up a safe space for discussion.\n\nFirst, start by establishing clear expectations. Turn the differences of opinion into a healthy debate and try to come to a mutual understanding.\n\nPlace emphasis on the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employee-relations\/\">commonalities between your team<\/a> rather than focusing on the differences.\n<h3>4. Stop the spread of negativity<\/h3>\nIf you hear of someone in your team speaking negatively about a certain colleague behind their back, immediately pull them up on it.\n\nBe clear in how you address gossip, let them know that kind of behaviour is not tolerated and can make people feel unsafe.\n\nWhen a leader speaks poorly about their staff or allows negativity to flourish, they are setting a poor example for their team. Employees will assume it is okay to ostracise others, or fear that they themselves are the target of gossip.\n\nIn either case, this creates a psychologically <strong><em>unsafe<\/em><\/strong> environment.\n<h3>5. Involve your team when making decisions<\/h3>\nIf you want to make your employees feel as though <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\">their voices are heard<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/make-employees-feel-valued\/\">their feelings are valued<\/a>, include them in decision-making. Reach out and ask for their input and opinions. Creating a level playing field for your team will encourage them to provide suggestions regardless of their role.\n\nBe sure to keep them in the loop every step of the way. Once a decision has been made, explain <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/honest-employee-feedback\/\">how their feedback contributed to the outcome<\/a>. Let them know of any other suggestions that were presented and how they were factored in.\n\nYour employees will appreciate any <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/inclusive-workplace\/\">inclusivity and transparency<\/a> you can provide.\n<h3>6. Listen to understand<\/h3>\nAt work, effective communication is key. Although these skills are important, our ability to listen is even more so. For your team to openly discuss their thoughts, ideas and feelings, they need to feel as though they&#8217;re heard.\n\nWhen someone is talking, listen to understand rather than respond. Sometimes we have a tendency to focus our energy on forming a response rather than paying attention to what is actually being said.\n\nThe beauty of psychological safety in the workplace is it provides room for innovation and experimentation. When people feel comfortable, respected and acknowledged, they&#8217;re more likely to provide meaningful contributions to solve complex problems.\n\nBeing able to listen attentively to these ideas will allow for psychological safety to flourish. <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/what-are-1-1s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1:1s<\/a> are a great way for a manager and direct report to catch up on the week that was.\n\nIf you&#8217;re looking to foster a culture of psychological safety, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/request-a-demo\/\">get in touch with one of our small business specialists<\/a>.
