What is the Psychological Safety Survey?
The Psychological Safety Survey is a comprehensive assessment tool that measures the level of psychological safety within your teams and across your organization across seven different dimensions. It evaluates employees’ perceptions of safety when making mistakes, sharing ideas, and expressing differing opinions, while also analyzing how leaders shape this environment and how organizational culture influences it.
Fear-based leadership leads to a productivity loss of 10 hours per week per leader in organizations.
UK: £2.2B per year
