Safe to Speak: Your people are talking. Are you listening?

Psychological safety is the shared belief within a team or organisation that it is safe to speak up, take risks, and express ideas or concerns without fear of embarrassment, punishment, or retribution. It creates an environment where people feel respected, valued, and empowered to contribute fully — which is essential for innovation, learning, and trust. When psychological safety is present, individuals are more likely to collaborate openly, admit mistakes, and challenge the status quo in ways that drive continuous improvement.

The Safe to Speak™ Tool is a powerful, research-backed diagnostic designed to assess psychological safety at three levels — the individual, the leader, and the organisation. Developed using academic theory and military leadership insights, this tool helps organisations understand where trust, fear, and communication barriers exist — and what to do about them.

Whether you're building a new wellbeing strategy or strengthening an existing culture programme, Safe to Speak™ is your starting point for meaningful, measurable change.
