Overview:
In a world that demands high performance and innovation, organizations must learn to balance this with the need for psychological safety to ensure long-term success. Too often, mental health and safety are relegated to HR functions rather than being seen as integral to an organization’s core strategy. In this podcast, Catherine Harrison shares insights from her keynote where she explores the real impact of psychological safety—or the lack thereof—on workplace cultures.
