As described by Dr. Amy Edmondson, psychological safety is a belief that employees will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.

Promoting psychological safety within Yale’s work environment helps team members identify issues early, learn from their mistakes, and support fellow team members, increasing the team’s overall performance while also improving employee attitudes towards the organization.

This presentation will discuss core concepts of psychological safety and present research on why this is an important Workplace of Choice initiative for Yale ITS. It will also introduce a new learning pathway to help ITS groups understand the elements of workplace psychological safety and implement practices to build a supportive team environment.
