How many times have you heard the phrase ‘There are no silly questions?’ Psychological safety at work means that all employees should be able to speak up without the worry of punishment or humiliation. Whether they are concerns, reports of mistakes or simply ideas or those ‘silly’ questions, they want an answer to educate themselves. But many employees are simply too afraid to pipe up for fear of ridicule, shame, or worse, being disciplined for not knowing. It can affect attitude, productivity and make everyone stressed. Having a workplace with good psychological safety means that this’ll never happen again. Both leaders and employees can work together to create such a workplace, one where people learn from mistakes, and one where everyone can speak up freely without fear of embarrassment, or worse. Whether a leader or employee, there are things you can do to support a psychologically safe workplace, and even challenge leadership in a constructive way so that you can all work together in harmony.
