Should you respect employee time, energy, and emotion? 4 Tips for a workplace culture of psychosocial safety. Part 22 in the Organisational Culture Series. ↳ From my experience: → Psychosocial safety is emerging as a key employee value proposition. → Where employees take risks, and make mistakes without fear of retribution. → The value of experimenting and learning impacts engagement and performance . ↳ Why this matters: → Teams where psychosocial safety is nurtured are more engaged and adapt to change. → A culture that promotes psychosocial safety encourages employees to voice concerns → Share ideas, and collaborate without fear of negative consequences. ↳ Big idea: → A culture of psychosocial safety isn’t about removing challenges but shaping them. →  A culture rooted in psychosocial safety makes organisations more agile and innovative. → Employees who feel safe are more likely to engage deeply, take initiative, and contribute. ↳ Tips to Start Today: 1. Encourage Open Communication: check-ins, feedback sessions, and anonymous surveys can help surface issues and ideas that might not otherwise be shared. 2. Recognise and Reward Experimentation: celebrate learning that comes from failed attempts to reduce the fear of failure and encourage more innovative thinking. 3. Provide Support and Resources: ensure resource provision including training, tools and a support network. This creates confidence in taking risks and trying new approaches. 4. Foster a Learning Environment: Promote continuous learning and development so employees can pursue professional development opportunities for benefit to both. → As we navigate a landscape marked by rapid digitalisation, global competition, and significant cultural shifts, the ability to foster a culture that embraces change is more crucial than ever. → This cultural shift leads to higher employee satisfaction, lower turnover rates, and improved overall performance. #culture #leadership #peopleandculture #executivecoaching #leadershipdevelopment 🔔 Follow me ♻️ Repost if you find this post useful for your network

--- 🙃 Tackling Low Productivity Through Behavioral Interventions 🧐 In the ever-evolving workplace, low productivity isn’t always about lack of skills—it often ties back to behavioral patterns and workplace culture. As intervention specialists, it’s essential to identify behaviors that subtly erode productivity. These can range from disengagement and distraction to lack of effective communication and role clarity. By focusing on reshaping these behaviors, we can create a work environment that not only encourages but also sustains high levels of productivity and employee satisfaction. 🔹 Strategies we employ: 1. Behavioral Audits: Identify productivity roadblocks. 2. Targeted Training: Reinforce skills that counteract low productivity behaviors. 3. Engagement Programs: Cultivate a sense of purpose and belonging. Boosting productivity is more than just meeting quotas; it’s about transforming workplace culture. Let’s make work work better! #ProductivityIntervention #WorkplaceWellbeing #IndustrialOrganizationalPsychology #EmployeeEngagement #BehavioralIntervention ---

#ThrowbackThursday to our transformative session with SCM Capital Limited on "The Productive Employee Course" This course went beyond the basics of productivity, digging into the essential skills every professional needs to exhibit at the workplace. We focused on personal effectiveness and influencing skills, client management strategies, and boosting communication and interpersonal skills. Participants also developed critical thinking and creativity, helping them approach problems with fresh, innovative solutions.  We didn’t stop there! Managing social stress and pressure at work was a major focus, ensuring participants have the tools and skills to stay balanced and perform at their best, even under pressure. We had the pleasure of inviting Nkem Chinwe Offonabo - The HARMONISER™, known for her expertise in work-life balance. She graciously took the time to answer participants' questions, sharing valuable insights on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance and why it’s so important for overall well-being and productivity. Everyone needs to be a productive employee because productivity isn’t just about getting tasks done, it also affects your time management, communication, and influence in the workplace! #PersonalEffectiveness #CommunicationSkills #CriticalThinking #WorkplaceProductivity #ClientManagement #CrosstieSolutions #SCMCapital #TBT
