Innovation
Google and Dr Amy Edmonson conducted
separate studies which demonstrated that teams which made more
mistakes were more productive and successful than others. When
people feel more comfortable to take risks, this fosters an
environment of innovation at the workplace. A key trait of a
high-functioning team is the ability to brainstorm, strengthen
plans of action and troubleshoot concerns where employees have a
supportive relationship with each other.
Emotionally Strong Workplace
When we get to know our
employees on a human level, we build employee trust through
positive interactions and conversations. This psychological
safety results in happier teams and increased employee
engagement where employees are more willing to share unspoken
reservations. When we are able to destigmatize failure as an
inevitable bump along the road to success, employees are more
courageous to take risks.
Talent Retention
With supportive relationships at
work, employees feel more confident about raising genuine
concerns and are more equipped to prevent or handle failure.
When employees are fully committed, organizations have an
opportunity to leverage the strength of all their talent. Churn
rates are lowered with talent retention, and we notice decreased
costs related to recruitment and absenteeism. Organizations are
also four times more likely to retain top performers, two times
more likely to hit revenue goals as the employees are two times
more likely to achieve their first-year performance goals in a
psychologically safe environment.
Productivity
Teams move into a learning zone, when
accountability for performance interacts with psychological
safety. When a safe environment is ready, members facilitate
learning from failures, and members' feedback-seeking behavior
and adaptability could be strengthened (Gong and Li, 2019). This
results in healthier, more inclusive and more productive teams
where there are higher levels of engagement, more learning and
development opportunities. When employees feel cared for and are
happy, they have more intrinsic motivation to work hard and are
more innovative too.
