Psychological Safety Workshop

Psychological Safety Workshop

Why Organisations Engage in This Workshop

Many workplace issues — including incidents, misconduct, disengagement, and poor decision-making — occur not because people didn’t know, but because they didn’t feel safe to speak up.

Psychological safety is a critical enabler of effective governance, WHS, risk management, and leadership. Without it, risks remain hidden, early warning signs are missed, and organisations become reactive rather than proactive.

This workshop helps organisations move beyond superficial culture initiatives and understand psychological safety as a core risk control and performance driver, not a “soft” concept.

What Participants Will Learn

Participants will develop an understanding of:

  • What psychological safety is — and what it is not

  • How fear, hierarchy, and past experiences suppress voice

  • The link between silence, risk, and organisational failure

  • Leader behaviours that unintentionally shut people down

  • How to respond when someone speaks up — especially under pressure

  • Practical behaviours that build trust, accountability, and respectful challenge

The focus is on real-world application, not theory.

Who Benefits from This Workshop

This workshop is suited to:

  • Leaders and supervisors at all levels

  • Boards and executive teams

  • HR, WHS, and governance professionals

  • Teams operating in complex or high-risk environments

It is particularly valuable for organisations experiencing disengagement, complaints, high turnover, or cultural tension.
