How do you know if your employees feel safe at work? Workplace safety used to mean fire drills or sturdy equipment—important, yes, but it’s not enough anymore. Employers need to go beyond physical safety and prioritize psychological well-being as well. When employees feel secure sharing ideas, admitting mistakes, and challenging norms, they’re not just safer—they’re more engaged and committed to their work. So, how can you foster this essential layer of safety in your workplace? Start by asking: ? Do employees share feedback openly? ? Are mistakes met with curiosity? ? Does everyone feel they belong? If the answer isn’t a confident “yes,” it’s time to rethink your culture. Building safety takes effort. Ready to begin? Start here: https://bit.ly/4fvgGtA
