“I’m not being my best self if I’m experiencing microaggressions in the workplace. I can’t be as innovative as I possibly could be, and I can’t offer my best customer service to clients in this environment.” Employees cannot grow and thrive in a work environment that stifles them. If employees feel that it is not safe to ask questions and offer their ideas without ridicule, then you may have a culture that is not psychologically safe.

Check out this episode for useful information on psychological safety and what you can do to ensure your workplace is welcoming for everyone.
