VIRTUAL | DEIB Series with Dr. Rebecca Baumgartner | It Begins With Us Part 3: The Path To Inclusion + Innovation – Creating Psychologically Safe Workspaces
True belonging requires authenticity and vulnerability. Psychological safety serves as the bridge between surviving and belonging. Harvard professor Dr. Amy Edmondson defines psychological safety as a sense of confidence that the team will not embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up, a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking, where trust and mutual respect allow people to be themselves.
What are the signs of a work culture that is psychologically unsafe? How does this impact the mental and emotional well-being of the team? How can you create this culture in your workplace?
Join us to explore these questions and more!
