What is Psychological Safety, and why is it important?

To create a happy and productive working environment, it’s important that everyone feels comfortable enough to be themselves, and able to express their own unique personality. 

Rather than having to pretend to be just like everyone else to fit in.
It’s also important that people feel they are able to make mistakes while they learn and grow

Instead of being criticized for not getting it right first time.

This is why creating an environment of Psychological Safety is crucial.

• More confidence
