Speaking Up at Work: What Gets in The Way

In this episode of our Psych Safety in Focus webinar series, we explore Open Conversation, one of the four core domains of psychological safety and a critical driver of learning, collaboration, and performance.

At its core, psychological safety is about creating an environment where people can contribute honestly, engage in constructive debate, and surface issues before they become problems.

In this session, we explore:
✨What open conversation really means in the context of psychological safety
✨The role of policies, leaders, and team norms in shaping voice
✨How open conversations improve learning, decision-making, and performance
✨Practical ways leaders can foster more honest, direct, and constructive conversations

This conversation draws on insights from the Psychological Safety Scan, which measures four key domains: inclusion & diversity, willingness to help, open conversation, and attitude to risk and failure.
