Psychological safety (in organizations) = "𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸-𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴."* From the book "Turnaround Artists," by Ahad Ghadimi: "Organizations with higher levels of psychological safety create a culture where employees feel comfortable and secure raising their concerns, contributing ideas, and sharing their unique perspectives. Psychological safety delivers critical business objectives including: > Enhancing employee engagement > Fostering an inclusive workplace culture > Inspiring creativity and innovation > Improving employee well-being > Reducing employee turnover > Boosting performance" (p. 30) If your company has culture that doesn't promote a 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗲 level of psychological safety, then the loss of beneficial gains seems rather evident. *Harvard Organizational Behavioral Scientist, Dr. Amy Edmondson

Why is it important to create a culture of being able to have a voice in your team? The CIPD Good Work Index 2023 summary report and practical guidance indicate that there are conflicting views regarding the extent to which managers enable and encourage employee voice at work. While almost half of the respondents believe managers are good at keeping them informed about management discussions and decisions, a smaller number actually think that managers effectively seek out employee opinions. Creating a culture of being able to have a voice in your team is extremely important because it leads to higher levels of productivity AND job satisfaction. It also helps to create an environment encouraging innovation and creativity and a more inclusive and diverse workplace.
