Building Psychological Safety at Work® – 1 Day Workshop in Edmonton

Certificate: Course Completion Certificate

Duration: 1 Day

Course Delivery: In-house/Classroom/ Virtual/Hybrid

Language: English

Credits: 8

Course Overview

Psychological safety is the principle that where we allow people to feel safe in the workplace and allow them to contribute their ideas and concerns, we are considerably more likely to develop a culture of knowledge and innovation.

Where fear at work is the dominating factor and people are scared to speak up through a worry that they will be dismissed, suppressed, ridiculed or even threatened, the chances of errors and mistakes increases while opportunities for growth are reduced.

The aim of creating a culture of psychological safety is to remove the feeling employees have that they should, ‘fit in’, ‘know their place’, ‘toe the line’ and go along with things in order to be accepted. By developing a culture that goes against this model and allows people to feel safe, empowered, fearless and able to speak up, we allow individuals to grow and excel and encourage performance improvements within the organisation.

Why Is Running This Psychological Safety Training a Good Idea?

Imagine a workplace where employees feel confident speaking up, sharing ideas, asking questions, and raising concerns without fear of criticism, embarrassment, or negative consequences. A psychologically safe workplace enables people to contribute their best, collaborate effectively, and perform at their highest potential.

This training equips your team with the knowledge and practical skills to build a culture where employees feel safe to:

• Speak up confidently about issues that matter.
• Share ideas, suggestions, and innovative solutions openly.
• Take thoughtful risks without fear of judgment or failure.
• Raise concerns and identify potential problems before they escalate.
