Psychological Safety: The Challenge
Without psychological safety, employees hold back. Concerns stay unspoken, ideas go unheard, and collaboration falters. You might notice rising stress levels, low morale, poor mental health and increasing turnover, all of which undermine performance and culture, making it harder to create more Good Days at Work.

When people feel safe to speak up, share ideas and admit mistakes without fear of judgement, they are more engaged, creative and motivated. It’s the foundation of high-performing teams and a healthy workplace culture.
The data is clear: 89% of employees say psychological safety is essential, and performance improves by 36% in teams where it’s high.
