It’s the belief that you won’t be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.
It’s more than just being “nice.” It’s a work culture where people feel:
✅ Included – Everyone belongs and feels respected
✅ Safe to Learn – Mistakes are seen as part of growth
✅ Safe to Contribute – Ideas and input are welcomed
✅ Safe to Challenge – It’s okay to question the status quo
In a psychologically safe environment, teams thrive—collaboration improves, creativity flows, and people feel valued.
