Competitiveness, strict hierarchies, tight deadlines, or pressures of work – all these are common sites in most workplaces. While these practices may ‘get the work done’, they often cause burnout and low morale among teams.
It's time for a transformation! Companies that want to build high-performing teams are serious about creating a psychologically safe environment. And let me tell you, it’s a shared responsibility; here’s how we can contribute towards this collective effort:
- The leadership sets the tone by leading with empathy and commitment to creating a safe environment. They actively encourage open communication and respectful behavior.
- Team members actively practice active listening, show compassion for colleagues, and communicate respectfully.
- HR teams develop policies and procedures that promote psychological safety and a sense of belonging.
- Learning and Development teams include training programs with exclusive focus on topics such as emotional intelligence and conflict resolution.
When everyone contributes to a positive and supportive atmosphere, employees feel empowered to innovate and thrive.
