Session Description
We all know psychological safety matters. Research supports the connection between high levels of safety, engagement and team performance. But how can psychological safety benefit learning specifically? It can start by helping people learn and grow better together. Teams are a natural and necessary asset for learning. Employees come together to learn all the time — through program cohorts, group coaching and professional communities, just to name a few. But learning in a team is not without interpersonal risk. To learn effectively together, we must stretch beyond our comfort zones, get involved and speak up.
Join us where our hosts Laura Walker, Talent Development Specialist and Annie Kollar, L&D Program Manager of Hemsley Fraser, will share insights on psychological safety in the workplace and why it matters now to organizations, teams and individuals.
What you will learn and take away:
- What psychological safety means.
- Why it matters now to organizations, teams and individuals.
- How to utilize the SPEAK Model to encourage psychological safety in teams.
Talent Development Capability Model
This chapter meeting addresses the ATD Capability Model:
Collaboration & Leadership: Leadership is about influence and vision, which also helps to facilitate collaboration. Being good at collaboration requires the ability to foster environments that encourage teamwork and respectful relationships, especially cross-functionally. Both collaboration and leadership require the practitioner to communicate effectively, provide feedback, and assess the work of others. Leadership also requires the ability to effectively align people and tasks to support the organization’s strategy. Effective leaders inspire trust and engagement with their employees and teams
