Series 4, Episode 6: Building safe spaces and harnessing psychological safety

Securing an environment of respect in which your team is
encouraged to think critically are essential threads weaving into
the fabric of your inclusive culture. Feeling encouraged to speak
up, challenge thoughts, and have difficult conversations are
vital in workplaces – after all, the most cutting-edge, risk
taking and creative of organisations stray away from a monolith
of thinking and approaches. Feeling empowered to do this without
facing embarrassment or hostility must be a given.


We’re joined in this episode by EW Group experts, Sharla Smith,
Nina Mayler and David Ruebain, to explore the increasingly
debated topics of safe spaces and psychological safety. Hear how
they approach these themes differently and discover why they
think work cultures build on safety are key.
