Psychological safety refers to how safe people feel to speak up, ask questions, share ideas, admit mistakes and challenge the status quo without fear of negative consequences. In psychologically safe teams, people feel respected, included and able to contribute fully.

When this is present, teams tend to collaborate more openly, address issues earlier and make better decisions together. It creates the conditions for people to bring their full contribution to work rather than holding back.

Psychological safety is a key driver of performance, innovation and engagement. When people feel safe, they are more willing to raise concerns, learn from mistakes and share new ideas.

This leads to faster problem-solving, stronger adaptability and fewer hidden risks. Organisations with psychologically safe teams often see more consistent performance and healthier working relationships.

No. Psychological safety supports constructive challenge and honest dialogue, not avoidance. It allows people to disagree, give feedback and debate ideas without fear of personal consequences.

As a result, teams can challenge assumptions and improve decisions without damaging trust. This creates more robust outcomes and prevents groupthink.

Team dynamics shape how people interact day to day. Psychological safety influences whether those interactions feel supportive, open and inclusive or cautious and guarded.

Understanding this connection helps organisations see why some teams collaborate effectively while others struggle. It provides clarity on where focused support can improve how teams work together.

While leaders play a crucial role, psychological safety is shaped by everyday behaviours across the team. It is influenced by how people listen, respond, include others and handle mistakes.

Measuring psychological safety helps make these dynamics visible. Leaders gain insight into how their behaviour is experienced, and teams receive clearer guidance on what good looks like in practice.

The assessment measures psychological safety across four core dimensions: inclusion safety, learner safety, contributor safety and challenger safety. Together, these dimensions provide a detailed view of how safe people feel in different aspects of their work.

This level of detail makes it easier to pinpoint specific strengths and gaps. Instead of a single score, you gain practical insight into what is supporting or limiting team effectiveness.

Engagement surveys often capture sentiment but not underlying causes. A psychological safety assessment focuses specifically on behaviours, experiences and conditions that influence whether people feel safe to speak up.

This creates a clearer link between data and action. You are better able to identify what needs to change in leadership behaviours, team practices or communication patterns.

The assessment is designed for employees across teams and levels. Broad participation helps create a more accurate picture of how psychological safety is experienced throughout the organisation.

Wider input reduces blind spots and highlights differences between teams or functions. This supports more targeted and credible decision-making.

For employees, the assessment typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The process is designed to be efficient and straightforward.

Keeping the time commitment low encourages participation while still producing meaningful insight. This helps maintain trust and engagement during the assessment process.

Yes. The assessment can be run organisation-wide or focused on specific teams, departments or leadership groups, depending on your objectives.

This flexibility allows you to address known challenges or pilot improvements before scaling more widely. It also supports deeper analysis where issues are most pressing.

Yes. All responses are anonymised and reported at group level only. This ensures that individuals cannot be identified through the results.

Anonymity encourages honest feedback and reduces fear of repercussions. This leads to more reliable data and a clearer understanding of real experiences.

Data is handled securely and responsibly throughout the process. Strong data protection practices are followed to ensure confidentiality and integrity.

This reassurance helps build trust with employees and stakeholders. It also ensures the organisation can use the data confidently and responsibly.

No. Results are aggregated and presented in a way that prevents identification of individuals. The focus remains on patterns, themes and group-level insight.

This shifts attention away from blame and towards improvement. Leaders are better able to focus on systemic issues rather than individual attribution.

You will receive a clear, structured report highlighting strengths, gaps and priority areas across the psychological safety dimensions. Results are presented in an accessible and practical format.

This makes it easier to communicate findings to leaders and teams. The report supports informed conversations rather than abstract or overly technical discussions.

Yes. Results can be segmented by team, function, location or role level, helping you understand where experiences differ.

Segmentation helps direct effort where it will have the most impact. It allows you to avoid one-size-fits-all approaches and focus on specific needs.

By identifying barriers to speaking up, learning and collaboration, the assessment highlights what may be limiting team effectiveness.

Addressing these barriers supports stronger decision-making, better collaboration and more consistent delivery. Teams are better equipped to perform under pressure and adapt to change.

Yes. The insights highlight practical areas for improvement related to leadership behaviour, communication and team practices.

This clarity makes it easier to prioritise actions and align efforts across the organisation. It supports progress rather than overwhelming teams with vague recommendations.

We guide you through the results and help you interpret what they mean for your teams. This includes discussing key themes and priority areas.

Support at this stage helps turn insight into action. It ensures the assessment leads to meaningful change rather than sitting unused.

When communicated clearly, the assessment helps set realistic priorities rather than unrealistic promises. It provides a structured way to discuss what can change now and what may take longer.

This supports transparency and trust with employees. It also helps manage change in a measured and credible way.
