Timothy R. Clark’s book “The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety” highlights that at work, psychological safety is essential for employee wellbeing, engagement, and performance. There are four stages of psychological safety:

• Including - Actively promoting diversity and ensuring that everyone's voice is heard and considered.

• Learning - Encouraging a growth mindset and recognises that failure is an essential part of the learning process.

• Contributing – This involves recognising and appreciating the unique strengths and contributions of each team member.

• Challenging - Recognising that innovation and growth often come from questioning assumptions and exploring new ideas.

I think that each of these stages highlights a unique human need that exists across demographics, psychographics, and geographies.  Contact me via e-mail for a confidential meeting about your organisations psychological safety efforts.
