Is your company concerned about:

• Complacency, mediocrity, inefficiencies, and sloppy work?
• A lack of personal ownership, accountability, dedication, and dwindling performance?
• Failure to meet consumer demands, and losing relevancy?

 When employees don’t think their ideas will be heard, or worse yet, when they fear criticism, they won’t speak up. Safety can be subtle and tending to the subtleties makes the difference between high and mediocre performance within teams.

The term psychological safety was coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson. She defines it as “a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking.”

As customers’ needs and desires change, your team needs to be ready to meet new demands. When employees feel comfortable asking for help, sharing suggestions informally, or challenging the status quo without fear of negative social consequences, organizations are more likely to innovate quickly, unlock the benefits of diversity, and adapt well to change—all capabilities that have only grown in importance during the COVID-19 crisis.
