Info

There are seven questions you can ask yourself to determine whether you’re feeling emotionally and/or psychologically safe in your workplace:

  1. If I make a mistake, is it held against me?

  2. Am I able to bring up problems and tough issues?

  3. Are my differences accepted?

  4. Is it safe for me to take a risk?

  5. Is it difficult for me to ask for help?

  6. Would/has anyone deliberately acted in a way that undermines my efforts?

  7. Are my unique skills and talents valued and utilized?

It’s important to remember that your rights to emotional and psychological safety are as valid as your right to physical safety in the workplace.
