LinkedIn Learning Challenge September 2021: Creating Psychological Safety

Psychological safety is the belief that you won’t be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. When a team or organizational climate is characterized by interpersonal trust and respect, members feel free to collaborate and take risks, which ultimately enables them to implement rapid innovation. Across all industries, psychological safety is the key element that differentiates the highest performing teams from the rest. The success of your team and your organization often depend on people's ability to speak up, noting potential threats to success. Fail fast, succeed faster! How do we create a psychologically safe work environment? It can start with you.

All previous challenges remain available for you to explore at your own pace in our LinkedIn Learning Challenge Playlist - with daily learning tasks taking less than five minutes to complete! Follow the playlist for notifications as new themes are added.
