Making psychological safety measurable, manageable, and reportable through co-created standards.
The Psychological Safety Institute is spearheading workplace culture standards. The Culture Code will help organizations benchmark their current working environment, understand current strengths and risks, and focus on driving real change.
In collaboration with industry leaders, we’re codifying what a psychologically safe culture looks like, covering five critical areas:
This will become your essential blueprint for working better together – a shared language that aligns leaders, HR, and operations around the same definitions and goals.
Alongside developing the Culture Code, we’re building a psychological safety benchmarking tool in collaboration with the University of Cambridge; we’re committed to bringing rigour to workplace culture in everything we do.
The standards outlined in the Culture Code will have universal relevance. We’re especially interested in what they mean for manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and financial services businesses because of the role of quality and risk in these sectors. Right now, our focus is manufacturing.
Physical safety is tightly-regulated in manufacturing, but psychological safety isn’t. Toxic behavior, team dysfunction, and rework often get accepted as inevitable facts of life. Problems with communication and collaboration become ingrained. We’re here to lead the change.
We’re surveying manufacturing industry insiders to understand the sector’s strengths and struggles, and we’ll be inviting a select group of manufacturing leaders to a roundtable event, where we’ll stress-test the standards before making them official.
Take the Culture Code survey and learn where you sit and how that compares in the sector.
The Psychological Safety Institute creates Authentic Organizations where communication and collaboration power performance. We exist to influence standards, upskill leaders, and transform business culture from within.
By looking holistically at all levels of workplace interaction, and treating psychological safety as an org-wide operational system, we help organizations achieve real, commercially-impactful culture change.
