Building a culture of psychological safety  

Creating organisations where people want to work

Unfortunately, most of us have inhabited teams and organisations where we feel that it is not safe to raise our ideas or express our opinions. Whilst you may have realised at the time that your organisation was missing out on your full contribution, there are wider impacts on engagement, safety, innovation and ultimately team and organisational performance.

Psychological Safety has been emerging over the last decade as a key element of focus if we want to build successful and productive organisations where people want to work. At its core, psychological safety seeks to decrease social friction so that intellectual friction can be successfully leveraged and though this 'contest of ideas’, great work, products and services can be revealed. It is also a critical success factor for organisations in attracting and retaining good people in the current tight job market.

​This session will deliver practical insights around the following elements:

  • The concept of psychological safety and why it is mission critical 

  • The four stages of building psychological safety

  • Key leader behaviours that build psychological safety

  • Interpreting this in a hybrid model of working

  • Discussion and reflection on the level of psychological safety in your workplace and action planning for making change

​If maximising performance and innovation are critical in your organisation, this session is a must for you.

​Partnering with DFP was an incredibly positive experience. From the outset, they were proactive, professional and took the time to understand my background and career aspirations as a leader within the Mental Health sector. What truly impressed me was their insight into the healthcare sector and their strong connections with reputable employers, particularly within the Federal Government space. DFP not only helped me secure a role with long term potential but also provided a level of service that made the entire process stress free and rewarding. I highly recommend them to any clinician seeking meaningful and impactful work.

Maggie, Candidate

​DFP has been a reliable and professional partner in supporting our workforce needs. As a Federal Government agency delivering critical mental health services, it is essential that we have access to highly qualified, adaptable and dependable staff. DFP has consistently delivered on this requirement, providing us with highly suitable labour hire candidates who are not only clinically skilled but also aligned with the values required for our clients. They are responsive, reliable and we look forward to continuing our partnership.

Ben, Client

​Mel is an absolute pleasure to work with and provided us with an array of highly skilled Mental Health Clinicians and personable candidates. I cannot recommend Mel and DFP more highly.

Gail, Client

From the very first contact, Mel at DFP Health made me feel at ease. She took the time to understand not only my professional skills but also my passion for Indigenous mental health. Mel supported me every step of the way. Her genuine care, encouragement and personal touches made what could have been a daunting process feel supportive and empowering. Thanks to DFP, I have found a role that is a perfect match for my values and skills.

Ashleigh, Candidate

​From the very beginning, my DFP Consultant Mel was extremely helpful and always available to answer any question I had throughout the recruitment process. I received regular updates, often without even needing to ask, and felt genuinely cared for as an individual. 

Daria, Candidate

DFP provided a professional and supportive service and I would recommend them to anyone.
