How psychologically safe do you feel at work? Do you feel safe to speak up, voice your opinions and ideas? Do you feel safe to make mistakes without fear of being ridiculed or punished? Do you feel safe (and empowered) to take risks? To make culture more innovative, a workplace needs to allow its employees to feel safe to share their ideas. When team members feel this level of ‘psychological safety, the workplace is said to have an inclusive culture.

And what, exactly, is the role of inclusive leadership? Catalyst’s Report: Getting Real About Inclusive Leadership has found evidence that inclusive leadership behaviours are key to creating a climate of psychological safety, which in turn cultivates the right conditions to create high-performing teams characterised by inclusion and innovation. 

Join Allyson Zimmermann, Executive Director, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Catalyst and Shanker Venkatasubramanian from Inclusion Partners as they discuss what psychological safety is, why it is so important to how teams function successfully (or not), and the inclusive leadership behaviours that promote psychological safety. 

Inclusion Partners and Catalyst have partnered to bring relevant and timely diversity, equity and inclusion resources to companies across the Middle East.
