One way to measure psychological safety in your organization is through employee surveys. Consider asking questions that measure employees' perceptions of psychological safety both at work and within their team.

When reviewing your results, focus your data analysis at the team-level, rather than within the organization overall. While it's valuable to have an understanding of the level psychological safety throughout your organization, any action that you take to improve psychological safety will be most effective within teams.

• Build self-awareness in your team (recognizing how you prefer to think and behave)
• Demonstrate concern for team members as people.
• Ask for questions, different viewpoints, and considerations that have not yet been voiced.
• Provide multiple ways for employees to share their thoughts.
• Show appreciation for ideas.
• Encourage team members to use positive language to inspire honest conversations.
• Be precise with information, expectations, and commitments.
• Be clear about what changed and why and give your team members time to process the change.
• Own up to mistakes and celebrate failures as learnings.
