For leaders & managers
Building psychological safety in your teams
Research shows that managers play a critical role in employee motivation and satisfaction. That means it’s not enough for leaders to drive strong employee performance. You need to take care of your team’s well-being, too. Learn more about how you can do that below.
Over the past few years, leaders have taken on a big emotional burden: helping teams recover from the grief of the pandemic, supporting the declining mental health of their employees, and being sensitive to people’s anxieties. In this talk, we explore how practising compassion enables leaders to advocate for their teams, humanise the workplace, and lead organisations more effectively.
How to lead with compassion
Fostering psychological safety for high-performing teams
A high-performing team requires more than productive people and clear goals. You’ll also need psychological safety — a shared belief held by members of a team that others on the team will not embarrass, reject, or punish you for speaking up. How might managers and leaders foster psychological safety in their own teams?
How should leaders support mental health at work
As mental health issues have risen in and out of the workplace, many leaders have realised the importance of addressing mental health in order to safeguard success in the endemic.
Why empathy is a must-have in the workplace
Understanding other people's emotions is a key skill in the workplace. It can enable us to resolve conflicts, build more productive teams, and improve our relationships with the people around us.

Employees are rethinking their priorities and looking to employers to support them. Organisations need to be able to better equip themselves and their employees to manage mental health challenges proactively.
We all have mental health – it moves up and down a spectrum from good to poor and it’s affected by a range of factors both in and outside of work. Starting a conversation to check in with a team member doesn’t have to be difficult.
Research shows that our brains respond positively to people when we feel a personal connection with them. Such connections can start when leaders show a more personal side to themselves, and when employees can sense that it is authentic. However, it is also possible to overshare.
There are many opportunities for growth when we listen and learn from others. However, this can only be done when you give people the chance to open up and express themselves. Encouraging a culture of listening can help your organization to bypass any potential issues, motivate employees and make the workplace more effective and productive.
Together, let’s foster psychological safety for your teams.
