Project Description
Every successful organization aspires to build grounding and innovative management, leadership that inspires change and is attuned to the capacity and functioning of teams, to cultivate an environment wherein the mutual respect of employees stirs creativity and constructive feedback however, for many organizations, the variables that allow us to achieve these goals can be elusive, precarious and seemingly driven by chance.
Workplace Development research on the Power of Psychological Safety has been mounting over the last few decades and the overwhelming conclusion is that Psychological Safety is one of the most pivotal and essential factors to the development of workplace culture and team success. The research evidence is so compelling that numerous Fortune 500 companies including Google have committed multiple resources and copious amounts of time realizing the Power of Psychological Safety.
Psychological Safety can be described as the unwritten norms or rules of an organization, the shared belief or tacit social mores of how employees are valued and respected, how ideas are generated and movement / change occurs when a challenge or problem arises. Psychological Safety is the felt experience of safety and is the catalyst and medium through which an organization’s culture is realized and maintained.
While the structure and systems of an organization provide a framework for growth and the hiring of competent employees assist with the application of a business plan, it is group cohesion, the quality of interpersonal dynamics and ‘Psychological Safety’ that profoundly influences productivity, efficiency and employee retention.
In this course you will learn how Psychological Safety can benefit your business.
