Trust building helps teams step into ambiguity, stay committed to managing the unknown with confidence, and embrace change as an opportunity to learn, grow, and do great work together.
Psychological safety at work is a shared belief held by members of a team that others will not embarrass, reject, or punish them for speaking up or making mistakes.
And a lack of psychological safety in the workplace has major business repercussions. First, when psychological safety is present, teams have higher levels of performance and lower levels of interpersonal conflict, our research has found. And when it isn’t present, and people don’t feel comfortable speaking up with their concerns, the organization isn’t as well equipped to innovate — or to prevent failure.
A psychologically safe workplace begins with a sense of belonging. Employees need to feel accepted for who they are and free to ask questions, raise issues, or experiment with new approaches.
Psychological safety training for leaders can make a real difference in helping managers create a safe climate for employees to share concerns, admit mistakes, offer ideas, and try new things. Including our research-based psychological safety training content as part of your leadership development initiatives can foster trust and enable teams to make bigger contributions, improving organizational outcomes.

During our work with an international financial services client, we helped to develop a common leadership language across the entire organization and build a more collaborative, trusting culture. The company wanted to foster an environment where people could have meaningful, candid, and constructive conversations about performance, in line with its goals of becoming an employer and business of choice.
In a partnership with a pharmaceutical client, our facilitators sought to create a psychologically safe training environment for participants. To signal senior leader buy-in, executives were frequently present during the development experience, but our facilitators also designated key parts of the program as being for participants and facilitators only, to foster more candid discussions.
