Leader and Manager Essentials: Building Trust and Psychological Safety in Teams

Tuesday 9 February 10:00 until 13:00

University of Sussex Campus : Gallery 1, Bramber House, Conference Centre

Speaker: Organisational Development

Part of the series: Leader and Manager Essentials

All staff (Academic and Professional Services) with or taking on management/leadership responsibilities.

Research into effective teams identifies psychologically safety as the number one key contributing factor. Teams with high psychological safety and trust are high performing and provide an environment for people to thrive. Characterised by inclusivity, interpersonal trust and mutual respect, people feel comfortable being themselves and contribute ideas, share success, ask for help, admit mistakes and express their views.

This workshop gives an introduction to psychological safety and trust and explores how to create a safe and supportive working environment that fosters trust, inclusion, collaboration and wellbeing.
