Have you heard of the term psychological safety more often lately?

Do you want more depth in your understanding of it and to feel confident in your role in creating a psychologically safe workplace for you and your work peers?

Psychological safety has recently become a buzzword due to changes in the WHS legislation. It is no longer ok to have team members’ psychological health impacted by the workload, poorly managed change, unhealthy team dynamics or poor leadership. Studies support that increasing psychological safety has a variety of positive impacts on your team members, like a boost in confidence, productivity, creativity, and innovation. Many understand the basics of what it is. They may appreciate the benefits of people raising concerns and suggestions without fear of being criticized, ignored or laughed at. There can be some misunderstanding of exactly what it means and the responsibility of employees and leaders.

In this highly relevant 90 min delivery, we unpack psychological safety through the lens of applied neuroscience. We briefly examine how and why there is a shift in legislation and responsibilities and review the five social threat zones that can make us feel ‘psychologically unsafe’. We provide evidence-backed strategies to support individuals, teams and leaders to influence psychological safety.

In this insightful and engaging delivery, discover:

• What is psychological safety? Psychosocial hazards and Psychosocial risks.
  
• How psychological safety causes harm and the Cost to Business.
• Introduction to WHS guidelines Primary and Employer Duty.
• Our social brain and the five threat zones.
• Key psychosocial hazards identified by Safework Code of Practice.
• Have time to consider practical ways to build a psychologically safe culture.
