Building Trust and Psychological Safety in Teams - all staff
All staff (Academic and Professional Services)
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.
• Explore what psychological safety means and why it matters
• Discover the role of trust in teams
• Share experiences and ideas around building trust and psychological safety within teams.
Organisational Development will email further details the day before the event.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you have any accessibility requirements regarding this staff development activity (e.g., hearing/visual impairment) so that we can do our very best to accommodate your needs.
