Exploring mental safety in the workplace with Dougal Sutherland

In this webinar Dougal will talk about the importance of “mental safety” in the workplace. Mental safety includes both psychosocial safety (ie., the extent to which an organisation is seen to invest in and prioritise workers wellbeing) and psychological safety (ie., the ability to speak up in the workplace without fear of retaliation and in the knowledge that others will have your back). Dougal will present some of Umbrella’s recent research into this area, how mental safety is a building block to many things in a successful organisation (e.g., high performance, preventing bullying) and share a model of the key factors in building this culture of safety.
