The significance of psychological safety in diverse teams has been proven through research, with leaders playing a critical role in creating this environment. According to Harvard Business Review, leaders have the ability to influence up to 70 percent of employees’ feelings of belongingness and psychological safety. Additionally, Google’s 2017 study on high-performing teams highlighted psychological safety as a key factor in team success.
Creating diverse and inclusive workplaces not only brings numerous benefits but also allows for the exploration of new opportunities. This panel aims to explore the science behind psychological safety in the workplace and provide practical steps that leaders can take to build a more inclusive and high-performing culture. The discussion will also delve into the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, how leaders can measure their impact, and what metrics they can use to track progress.
