Resilient Organizations Make Psychological Safety a Strategic Priority

A lot has been written about the role of psychological safety in improving workplace health. To weather uncertainty, organizations need to look beyond individual well-being and make psychological safety a priority, creating a culture where employees can easily raise concerns, contribute ideas, and share unique perspectives. Three cultural dimensions are important for resilience. Business continuity, competitiveness, and growth are important components of psychological safety. To strengthen resilience, leaders need to understand how to connect the three dimensions of culture. Senior leaders can overcome obstacles to boost resilience if they invest in psychological safety.

Organizational resilience like food in the desert is critical for survival, but difficult to grow. Enhancing resilience is a priority for leaders.
