The discussion will delve into what psychological safety is and why it's key to creating a supportive work environment. People need to feel safe to share ideas without the fear of being judged. We'll look at ways to build this safety, like listening well, being clear when we talk, and valuing different backgrounds. Leaders and organizations can help by giving mental health support, making it easy to give and get feedback, and promoting a good balance between work and life. Those who join us will learn useful tips and steps to make their workplace safer for everyone's mental health. This can lead to better well-being for all employees.
