Psychological Safety: Build It Up or Tear It Down? – 2027 Summit Session
Build psychological safety, break down barriers, and uncover the root causes hiding beneath the surface.
What happens when employees are afraid to speak up, question decisions, or admit mistakes? Problems stay hidden, warning signs get missed, and opportunities to prevent the next incident slip away. When it comes to root cause analysis (RCA), that can be a recipe for repeated failures.
In this engaging session, Barb Carr explores the importance of psychological safety in the workplace and how it influences the way people communicate, learn, and respond when things go wrong. Because let’s face it: You can’t get to the real root causes of a problem if people don’t feel safe sharing what really happened!
Discover how everyday actions, leadership behaviors, and workplace culture can either build trust or tear it down. Learn why creating an environment where people can speak honestly, ask questions, and share concerns is essential for effective investigations, meaningful learning, and lasting corrective actions.
Are your workplace practices building psychological safety or accidentally tearing it down? Join Barb Carr to explore how psychological safety can strengthen root cause analysis, encourage open communication, and help your organization move beyond blame toward real improvement. Because better investigations start with people who feel safe enough to tell the truth!
