Helping organisations ensure a psychologically safe workplace, especially when going through change

As Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson champions, psychological safety is critical in fostering an environment where employees feel secure expressing their ideas, concerns, and mistakes without fear of retribution.

At Allegra, we offer tailored services to help organisations cultivate and maintain psychological safety during times of change, ensuring a resilient and productive workforce.

Our approach to managing psychological safety at work is comprehensive and personalised. We focus on creating a supportive culture where employees feel valued and heard. We use evidence-based strategies and frameworks to assess, develop, and sustain psychological safety within your organisation.

Assessing your workplace for psychosocial hazards and helping move beyond them

Psychosocial hazards refer to aspects of work design and management, as well as the social and organisational context of work, that have the potential to cause psychological or social harm. Identifying and addressing these hazards is crucial to maintaining a psychologically safe workplace.

Common psychosocial hazards we can help identify during an assessment include...

  • Job demands
  • Low job control
  • Poor support
  • Lack of role clarity
  • Poor organisational change management
  • Bullying
  • Conflict or poor workplace relationships and interactions
