WFEO Committee on Young Engineers / Future Leaders (WFEO-YEFL) and Young Engineers Australia (YEA) organized the webinar “Psychological Safety in the Workplace” on 20 November 2022.
Psychological safety has become increasingly popular due to its relevance to agility, diversity, inclusion and remote working, especially since the pandemic.
Psychological safety is a belief that you feel individually and uniquely valued, empowered and respected. A culture that encourages psychological safety means that all feel comfortable to be completely themselves, where diversity, vulnerability and candour are encouraged and welcomed.
This discussion provided its participants greater understanding of how and why to cultivate psychological safety in the workplace.
Event overview:
- Why is it so important.
