Happy New Year! 🎉 We can't quite believe we've written those words!
As we settle into the new year, now is the perfect time to keep building proactive and psychologically safe workplaces.
In this month’s Champions Connect, we’re reflecting on insights from our recent webinar, Creating a Psychologically Safe Workplace. If you missed the webinar, or would like to revisit the key takeaways, check out our blog post here.
What is psychological safety?
As we often discuss in Champions meetings, psychological safety means creating a workplace where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or negative consequences.
It’s the foundation for building trust and fostering collaboration within teams.
As a Champion, how can you promote psychological safety?
Highlight Trickle's anonymity feature
Post a Shout About to remind people of Trickle's anonymity feature to encourage them to join in the conversation without fear of judgement.
💡 Top tip: Use your Shout About to highlight recently Completed Trickles to show the value Trickle brings to your organisation.
Reassure about anonymity
Reinforce trust by reminding users that anonymity on Trickle is completely secure–no one can unmask an anonymous user.
Share this video showcasing how anonymous interactions work and link to our anonymous promise for additional transparency and confidence.
Encourage active participation
Keep Trickle forefront of mind by incorporating it into your existing working pattern.
For example, during company meetings or team updates, ask for feedback through Trickle and remind people they can share their thoughts with optional anonymity. You can also share materials from your collateral pack to encourage people to login and visit the Trickle app.
Post a MoodSense to gauge psychological safety
Use MoodSense to find out if people feel comfortable speaking up on Trickle. After posting a MoodSense, you could post a Shout About to reassure people that results are truly anonymous.
