What is Psychological Safety?
Psychological safety is a team climate where people feel safe to speak up, ask questions, admit mistakes, or raise concerns without fear of ridicule or retaliation. It requires trust that voices from all backgrounds will be respected, even when opinions differ. In practice, psychological safety means open dialogue, inclusive listening, and learning from failure.
Why it matters for harassment prevention and diversity
When teams feel safe, employees report mistreatment, challenge biased norms, and participate in constructive conversations about performance and inclusion. Leaders who model respectful conduct and respond consistently to concerns reinforce this climate.
