Keeping workers safe and well, both physically and mentally, is arguably an employer’s most important job. It is critical to keep safety as your organization's top priority and ensure you and your workers are returning home safely every day.

This program is engaging, incorporating a wide variety of relevant articles, white papers, assessments, video lectures, and more.

This course will help the learner to identify and understand the elements of a psychologically safe workplace and its link to overall performance for the organization. Learners will review mental harms and risks, and how their leadership can positively or negatively impact the employee experience.
In order to become a psychologically safe leader, one must also ensure that they are attending to their own psychological safety. Learners will complete a number of assessments, geared to understanding strengths and opportunity areas in the arena of intrapersonal skills and behaviours that rely on those skills.
In a psychologically safe workplace, employees will be able to share their experience, thoughts, and ideas without fear of reprisal or retaliatory action—the psychologically safe leader is the conduit to a culture that reduces mental risks and harms, while continuing to drive performance at the organizational level.

Tasked with an increased workload, reduced resources, and ambitious performance expectations, today's employees can present with an increase in absenteeism/presenteeism, increased attrition, reduced productivity, and mental health concerns.
Many programs designed to help improve workplace culture, engagement, and productivity do so by identifying and addressing deficit areas, rather than building a framework that fosters an environment in which employees can develop and grow. In a positive workplace culture, leaders can encourage and support the skills and resiliency that allow their staff to feel seen, heard, and appreciated.
