Understanding and improving psychological safety within your organization is crucial for fostering an environment where employees feel safe to take interpersonal risks without fear of negative consequences. Our advanced tools, including the Psychological Safety Index (PSI) and the Fearless Organization Scan, provide comprehensive insights and actionable recommendations to help you build a culture where team members can speak up, collaborate, and innovate freely.

Her research highlighted the critical role that psychological safety plays in team performance and innovation. The purpose of measuring psychological safety is to identify areas where organizations can improve communication, trust, and collaboration, ultimately leading to a more productive and engaged workforce.
