Psychological Safety delivers. For the people. And for the business. For a great culture to be effective and deliver its value it has to be both pro-people and pro-business. And Psychological Safety is definitely both. Psychological Safety is “the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.” (definition by Professor Amy Edmonson). These are nine of the most powerful effects of Psychological Safety at work. What do you think?

What Psychological Safety Is and Isn't -------------------- Psychological safety refers to an environment (whether at work or persona) in which people feel free to express relevant thoughts and feelings without fear of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career. In such an environment, employees can take interpersonal risks, make mistakes, ask for help, and propose new ideas without feeling insecure or embarrassed. What Psychological Safety Is: - Supportive Environment: A psychologically safe workplace encourages open communication and sincere feedback. It's a space where employees can speak up without fear of retribution or ridicule. - Opportunity for Growth: It allows people to step out of their comfort zones to learn and develop new skills, acknowledging that growth often comes from trial and error. Emphasis on Learning, Not Failure: When mistakes are made, the focus is on learning from them rather than punishing those responsible. Team Integrity and Collaboration: Psychological safety fosters a team-oriented atmosphere where trust and mutual respect are paramount. It's about working together towards common goals and valuing each member's contribution. Leadership Accountability: Leaders in a psychologically safe environment are approachable and accountable. They set the tone by modeling vulnerability, openness to feedback, and willingness to admit mistakes What Psychological Safety Isn't: Absence of Pressure or Stress: Psychological safety doesn't mean a stress-free environment. Workplaces can be demanding, but how stress is managed and communicated is key. Always Agreeing or Avoiding Conflict: It's not about always being in agreement. Constructive conflict can drive innovation and improvement as long as it's managed respectfully. Lack of Accountability: While psychological safety involves open communication and learning from mistakes, it doesn't absolve people from meeting standards of performance or behavior or following through on commitments. The Importance of Psychological Safety: The impact of psychological safety extends beyond individual well-being. It has tangible benefits for organizations, including: Enhanced Innovation: Teams with high psychological safety are more likely to harness diverse ideas and perspectives, leading to greater creativity and innovation. Improved Employee Engagement: Employees who feel safe are more engaged and committed to their organization, driving productivity and reducing turnover. Effective Risk Management: When employees aren't afraid to speak up, organizations can identify and address risks more promptly. -------------------- The image below is very simple, yet powerful. Inspired by Amy Edmondson and created by Heidi Pickett.

Building a culture of psychological safety and well-being is everyone's responsibility, not just the leaders'. This means that you, yes YOU, whether you have formal authority or "power", can create a better workplace and culture, even if you can't do it company-wide. You start small: in the interactions and the questions you ask your teammates. Here is a list of ten questions that open up wonderful opportunities and possibilities about how to create a culture of psychological safety and well-being at work. You don't need the leaders to ask these questions, you can ask them yourself! Also, you can modify the questions to make them more relevant or customized to your style and the reality of your workplace. The ultimate point is this: you, and everyone, can create a better culture founded on safety and well-being.

HR Business Partners (HRBPs) play an indispensable and strategic role for organizations, teams, leaders and people by providing knowledge, strategic support, leadership, insights, data and information that create the conditions for success. Strategic HRBPs have a unique blend of HR expertise and business acumen that is fundamental to empower teams and leaders to excel and achieve their objectives. HRBPs provide people solutions to business problems. In that unique intersection of people, culture, strategy and performance is where they deliver extraordinary value that only HR can offer. By the way, when we say HRBPs we often refer to HR professionals who have breadth and width of knowledge about business and people operations. Sometimes they are managers or directors who fulfill the role of an HRBP, perhaps with a wider scope or more decision-making authority. Nonetheless, at the heart of the work that HRBPs or those fulfilling the business partnering role do, we find: their ability to align talent acquisition with team goals; they are catalysts for goal-setting excellence, fostering a shared vision within small teams; they support an environment of continuous improvement; among other responsibilities. Here is a list of fourteen ways in which HRBPs add exceptional strategic value to organizations, teams, leaders and people. ----------- Certificate Program: Strategic HR Business Partner This is the first-ever, LIVE Master's Degree Certificate Program focused on providing the tools, insights, data, ideas, and community to advance the role of HR Business Partners to new strategic heights!
