Psychological safety has become one of the most talked-about ideas in leadership and culture – but what does it actually look like in practice?
Join us for 'Psychological safety: Beyond the buzzwords', a practical, discussion-led session exploring what psychological safety means for today’s teams — and why it might just be at the heart of performance, trust, and long-term success.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Can you really measure psychological safety?
- Is it the key to high-performing, happy teams — or just another HR trend?
This won’t be a theory-heavy lecture. Expect real-world scenarios, open discussion, and practical tools you can take back to your own team or organisation.
