A healthy workplace culture is foundational for team performance and is often stymied by a lack of trust and collaboration. Employees thrive in workplaces where they feel safe to share ideas, take risks and express their opinions without fear of intimidation. This is commonly referred to as psychological safety.
This workshop offers a framework for creating collaborative cultures that foster innovation, better decision making and improved communication.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the essential elements for psychological safety
- Examine behaviors of high-trust leaders
- Define drivers and deterrents of collaboration
- Formulate a plan for developing high performing teams
