Creating a Culture of Trust for a Psychologically Safe Workforce

Presented by Anthony Gibbs (CEO, Sentis)

What’s covered? 

The landscape of work is changing. Physical distancing, remote work arrangements and a shift in work focus mean we find ourselves needing to connect and interact with our teams in new and different ways. Add to this the increased stress and uncertainty of recent events, and the psychological and physical wellbeing of our people has never been more at the forefront.

For many, being faced with making sudden and difficult decisions about individuals’ employment, temporary or permanent business closures and the impact these have on families and communities can be devastating. Now more than ever, the degree of trust a leadership group has with their employees is key.

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll explore the science of trust and the skills required by safety leaders to develop and maintain the necessary level of psychological safety in the current climate of uncertainty. With the right approach, leaders can still be candid about the brutal facts of the current reality while maintaining a team culture that allows open communication, information sharing, solution-focused problem solving and a continued focus on the physical and psychological safety of their teams.

Session outcomes:

• • Explore the science behind building trust at both an organisational and individual level
  • Understand a leader’s role in establishing psychological safety and what ‘good’ looks like
  • Discover how to foster a culture of learning and improvement
