Episode 62: Psychological Safety at Work

On the show today we’re going to kick off, by talking all about Psychological Safety at Work. To help us unpack this topic, we are joined by Brett Pomroy.  Brett is the Principal Lawyer at Salt Legal.  

Brett Pomroy helps Karen answer:

• Definition and Importance of Psychological Safety: What is psychological safety, and why is it gaining importance in the modern workplace? How does it differ from physical safety, and why is it just as crucial? 
• Legal Implications: How have laws and regulations evolved to recognize psychological safety in the workplace? What legal responsibilities do employers have to ensure a psychologically safe environment, and what are the potential consequences of non-compliance? 
• Real-World Cases and Precedents: Discuss notable case studies where organizations faced legal challenges due to a lack of psychological safety. What were the outcomes, and how have they shaped the current legal landscape? 
• Best Practices for Employers: How can employers create and maintain a psychologically safe workplace in compliance with the law? What resources, training, or policies can be put in place to support both employees and the organization?
