When your employees show up to work, do they feel safe, respected, valued, and able to do their best? With work-life boundaries increasingly blurring, continued stress from the pandemic, and political and social upheaval, employees may be struggling with their mental health. This makes it more important than ever to create a work culture where people can acknowledge their struggles and ask for help.

As organizations adopt hybrid and remote work capabilities, it is critical for leaders to figure out how to provide the same level of support to dispersed teams as they did to in-office workers.

The responsibility of creating this type of environment may seem daunting, but there are practical ways to help make your work culture feel like a psychologically safe place. In this webinar you'll learn:

What psychological safety is and how it relates to employee mental health
How you can apply psychological safety to your distributed and remote teams
How this type of work environment can improve both employee wellbeing and productivity
6 proven and actionable ways that can help you build a more psychologically safe work culture
