Want to get started on improving psychological safety in your organization? Then the Psycological Safety Scan is an excellent start. This scan will give you insights into the factors that make the most impact on your organization to bring psychological safety to an (even) higher level.
How to measure psychological safety?
On one hand, the Psychological Safety Scan measures outcomes provided from science for psychological safety and making your voice heard (employee voice). On the other hand, we measure the drivers of psychological safety. Drivers are specific leadership and work climate factors that have been proven to have an effect on the degree of psychological (social) safety.
In this combined scan, we measure a total of 9 underlying drivers in the organization. Understanding these drivers enable your organization to make evidence-based interventions to improve psychological safety. We list 5 examples of drivers that we measure.
- Perspective taking: The degree to which colleagues can put themselves in each other’s shoes.
- Organizational support: Do employees feel that the organization also considers their interests and needs?
- Power disparity: The degree to which power and influence over decision-making is experienced unequally within a team.
- Meaning-based leadership: Do executives connect the organization’s values to strategy?
- Empowering leadership: The degree to which leaders transfer responsibility and authority to their teams.n,
