Psychological Safety in a Time of Mandatory Remote Work
We need a feeling of Psychological Safety to speak up. Especially when a team is dealing with complex, high consequence issues.
Psychological Safety is usually achieved through in-person, interpersonal interaction that creates relationships of trust.
But how do we build relationships that develop and sustain Psychological Safety when team members cannot be together face-to-face in our pandemic-driven, remote, virtual working environment?
We will puzzle together about these issues and on building relationships of trust characterized by Psychological Safety in this paradoxical Zoom virtual session.
Please join us online on May 14 to discuss our various approaches to this timely challenge!
