Description

Build a high-performing organization by embedding psychological safety throughout the business.

Psychological Safety in Practice is a practical, evidence-based guide for senior HR leaders and people executives who want to improve performance, wellbeing and retention by creating workplaces where people feel safe to contribute, challenge and grow.

Written by Helen Sanderson, an expert in wellbeing and health at work, this book moves psychological safety from theory into execution. It translates research into five clear foundations, mattering, voice, clarity, collaboration and growth, giving leaders a tangible framework they can apply across teams and functions.

The book then shows how to embed psychological safety across the full employee journey, from recruitment and induction to feedback, development and progression. It addresses the structural, cultural and leadership decisions that determine whether psychological safety becomes embedded or undermined at scale.

You will learn how to:
- Embed psychological safety into HR strategy and organizational design
- Build trust, transparency and inclusion across teams
- Improve performance, wellbeing and employee retention
- Run meetings, feedback and recognition without fear or silence
- Scale psychological safety from teams to the whole organization

Themes include: psychological safety, employee engagement, organizational culture, HR leadership, trust and transparency, workforce performance
