Building a Speak-Up Culture: The Psychological Safety Workshop
Teams too quiet in meetings? Create a safe environment where employees feel empowered to share ideas and concerns without fear.
About this session
Silence in meetings often signals that team members are calculating the social cost of speaking up rather than focusing on the problem at hand. This session moves a team from passive agreement to active participation by identifying the specific behaviors that currently stifle candid feedback and replacing them with shared communication norms.
Why it works
The structure shifts the burden of courage away from the individual and onto a set of agreed-upon group protocols. By documenting concrete behavioral changes rather than abstract values, the team leaves with a practical contract for how to handle mistakes and dissenting voices without fear of social penalty.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
