How Safety Leaders Influence Psychological Safety
Psychological safety has a measurable impact on organizations. When employees feel psychologically safe, they are eight times more likely to be engaged, three times more likely to be productive, and three and a half times more likely to be innovative.
So, how do organizations measure the psychological safety of their workforce, and what is the safety leader’s role in creating a culture of psychological safety?
Dr. Rajni Walia is an organizational psychologist, consultant, and Vice President of DEKRA North America. Rajni joined the show to answer those questions and explain:
- How to evaluate psychological safety gaps
- Three factors of employee well-being that safety leaders can influence
- Tips to overcome reluctance to change
- How to turn transactional interactions into transformational conversations
The Employee Safety Podcast is hosted by Peter Steinfeld, SVP of Safety Solutions at AlertMedia.
