DEI: Belonging & Psychological Safety
Think Organisation
Unparalleled Expertise in Cultivating & Measuring High-Performance Cultures.
Imagine a workplace where everyone is truly included.
Where diversity isn’t just about quotas but about creating a culture where people feel safe, valued, and heard. And we mean everyone is heard. Listened to. We mean 100% of people feel like they belong, as their authentic selves.
In today’s world, debates over DEI (especially the current ones hitting the headlines) often miss the bigger picture: fostering real belonging and psychological safety is vital.
Think Organisation tries to keep away from politics, as everyone has their own perspectives and views.
However, in light of the dramatic changes occurring in organisations worldwide we feel we must share some background to this emotive, and extremely complex area. As the positive and negative stories the media are choosing to share may not be the full picture. In fact, in many cases, a lack of psychological understanding is propagating the harm many DEI initiatives have inflicted on the very groups they claimed to promote.
Our latest insights article explores why belonging is a fundamental human need and how this needs to be the focus of DEI. Not the discipline itself.
Psychological safety is critical to this.
Employees need to feel secure enough to voice ideas and take risks. This is what drives innovation, engagement, and business success.
