An essential workshop for anyone involved with organisational change

Fostering a culture of psychological safety has become more important than ever in today's workplace. Defined as the shared belief within a team that it is safe to take interpersonal risks without fear of negative consequences, psychological safety involves feeling comfortable speaking up, expressing ideas, asking questions, and admitting mistakes without fear of ridicule, rejection, or punishment.

Why psychological safety matters

Psychological safety is a cornerstone of a healthy and productive work environment where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best work. It enhances collaboration and productivity, promotes employee wellbeing, and fosters innovation and creativity.

Why it is so important within change management

Poor change management can significantly impact individuals and the broader organisation. Organisations and their leaders must consider a systematic approach to change and how they govern, monitor, and manage ongoing change within the business.

This training is designed to support anyone involved with Organisational Change. This includes Senior Executives, Business Leaders, Human Resource practitioners, Project and Change Practitioners, and Consultants involved with change.

Workshop outline

This workshop covers organisational change and its impact on psychological safety, employee wellbeing, engagement and performance.

The impact of organisational change on workplace psychological safety

We will examine how organisational change can deeply influence psychological safety in the workplace, focusing on its effects on employee wellbeing, trust, communication, engagement, and overall performance, and how these factors interact during periods of transition.

Developing a systemic approach to reduce impact during change

Learn how to consider the strategic implications of organisational change on psychological safety and implement a systemic approach to mitigating its impacts, focusing on strategies that safeguard employee wellbeing, maintain trust, and foster a culture of openness and support throughout the transformation process.

Technical, psychological, behavioural and leadership activities

Learn a range of activities designed to reduce the negative implications of organisational change on workplace psychological safety. These include ways of implementing supportive communication tools, fostering emotional resilience, promoting positive behaviours, and applying leadership strategies that prioritise psychological safety, trust, and employee engagement during transitions.

How to recognise psychological safety risk signs

We will run through a number of psychological safety risk signs to look out for within teams and organisations. These may include things like as reluctance to speak up, disengagement, increased stress levels, and a lack of trust. By identifying these early warning signs you can take proactive steps to address issues before they escalate.

Effective strategies for fostering a culture of psychological safety

We will share proven strategies you can use for fostering a culture of psychological safety, including promoting open communication, encouraging vulnerability, supporting risk-taking without fear of retribution, and creating an environment where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to share ideas and concerns during periods of change.
