Fostering Psychological Safety and Inclusion in the Workplace

What does it mean for an organisation to be inclusive? Inclusivity and psychological safety have had more than their share of publicity in the last few years, but are our organisations truly inclusive? Do we genuinely celebrate diversity in a way that harnesses the extraordinary power of radically different perspectives? Inclusivity is about opening yourself up to other people's experiences. It's about celebrating the notion that those experiences lead to a variety of perspectives and ideas that can take your organisation and everyone in it on a collective.

Outcomes

At the end of this course the participants will be able to:

  • Explain the critical need for psychological safety and inclusion across the organisation
  • Identify the real-world consequences of non-inclusive behaviours
  • Determine what psychological safety and inclusive behaviour looks like
  • Create strategies for building psychological safety and developing inclusive behaviours
  • Begin to drive higher engagement levels in the workplace
  • Create an action plan to increase psychological safety and inclusion

What to expect

This course is an immersive experience that combines thought-provoking discussions, practical exercises, and reflective practices. You’ll explore real-world examples, challenge your biases, and engage in group activities designed to foster collaboration and mutual understanding. Expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of what inclusivity means and how to apply it in your workplace.
