The summer break is always a good moment to discover topics that deserve more attention in HR and leadership.  My attention was drawn to the concept of psychological safety at the workplace. Psychological safety is the belief that one can speak up, share ideas, and admit mistakes without fear of negative consequences. It is not about being nice, but about creating an environment of trust and openness.  Employees are more likely to take risks, ask questions and suggest innovative solutions. The atmosphere encourages learning and continuous improvement. It enables diversity, inclusion and most important innovation. If not, talent leaves silently – or disengages. Of course, this does not mean the loss of accountability, nor suggest that there should be no consequences for poor performance or not following the rules.  Nobody would accept that the doctor does not follow the protocols. Respect and accountability remain non-negotiable. Leaders play a critical role in building psychological safety. By showing humility, listening actively, and acknowledging their own mistakes, thy set tone for others. To be effective, psychology safety must be balanced with clear expectations, accountability, and performance standards. Amy Edmonson’s work shows the impact clearly: highly performing teams are almost always psychologically safe. What about your environment?   Fitch Bennett Partners assisted you in recruiting the best profile? Would be sad seeing them leaving or not performing….
