Collaboration and productivity
Psychological safety
As people, we need to belong. And to dare to develop our skills and to put in extra effort, we need to feel safe, knowing that we’re an appreciated part of the team. Even when we sometimes make a mistake. Creating a safe and engaged culture will increase your productivity and reduce your staff turnover.
Making sure people feel appreciated, in a personal way, is one of the easiest ways to increase the psychological safety in your team.
We collaborate better with people we like
It might be a bit hard to admit, but you are keener to give a hand to someone you like, than that other person you don’t like as much.
And working with people you like, you will look for ways to enhance the ideas of your colleague, rather than to look for issues with what they just said.
Engagement
