Psychological safety

In a psychologically safe environment, individuals feel confident enough to be themselves, because :

• they feel part of the group (security of inclusion),
• they know it's acceptable to make mistakes (learning safety),
• they feel confident enough to propose ideas (security of contribution),
• and they're not afraid to question opinions or express concerns (challenge safety).

In addition toimproving employee well-being, psychological safety within an organization fosters the sharing of diverse ideas, stimulates creativity and encourages interpersonal risk-taking, essential for learning and change.

This dynamic promotes well-thought-out solutions, based on the exploration of various strategies.

Indeed, feeling secure enables team members to become fully involved in the life of the organization by sharing and exchanging their points of view. When ideas are discussed with emotional intelligence, collective performance improves considerably.
