Psychological safety is the belief that it’s OK to take interpersonal risks without fear of undue consequences. In a psychologically safe environment, people are more likely to speak up when they see their team or organization heading down the wrong path. They’re more likely to brainstorm and experiment in ways that help teams innovate, and they’re less likely to go along with risky behaviors that create an unsafe workplace. Psychological safety allows a person to be themselves, which strengthens morale, sense of belonging, and employee retention. Join Learning and Organizational Development (L&OD) for a session that will explore how leaders can foster a psychologically safe environment and why people may feel psychologically unsafe without their leaders even realizing it.

This workshop is part of L&OD's LEAD Events, an initiative that provides employees with opportunities to learn or refresh skills that can help them grow their careers. LEAD Events are a component of L&OD's Leadership Education and Development, or LEAD, program.
