“Safety is not a job, it's a moral imperative” 🌍 Today, we celebrate Safety and health at work World Day, a reminder of the importance of prioritizing the well-being of every individual in the workplace. Ensuring a safe environment isn't just a legal requirement; it's a moral imperative. Let's commit to fostering cultures of safety, where every employee feels empowered to speak up and contribute to a healthier, safer tomorrow. 🦺💪 #safetyandhealthatworkworldday #safetyfirat #SafetyCulture 👷♂️

In light of Safety and Health Week (back in May, I know, I'm late in my readings...), I find important to highlight that workplace safety goes beyond just the physical aspects. Psychological safety is equally vital for the well-being and success of any organization. It's about creating an environment where team-members can make mistakes, express themselves, and speak up without fear of judgment or exclusion. Research, such as Google's Project Aristotle, shows that psychological safety is the key to effective teams. Turns out, it's associated with increased engagement, innovation, job performance, and job satisfaction. No kidding ! You want more? Fostering psychological safety is essential in today's challenging job market, as it influences retention and talent attraction. To achieve psychological safety, organisation can use the "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Matrix", a tool that enhances psychological flexibility. It helps recognizing internal thoughts and emotions, making choices aligned with values, and discussing difficult topics in terms of a shared purpose. Building psychological safety is a journey that involves learning and collaboration. By employing strategies rooted in the ACT Matrix, or similar conversation-inducing tools, both employees and employers can take meaningful steps toward creating a psychologically safe workplace. It's a win-win for everyone involved. And we all like a win. #PsychologicalSafety #WorkplaceWellbeing #SafetyAndHealthWeek
