What makes a team high-performance? Google spent 4 years conducting over 200 interviews and analysing more than 250 attributes across 180 teams to answer this question. This is what they discovered: “Psychological safety was by far and away the most important of the five dynamics we found – it’s the underpinning of the other four.” (Julia Rozovsky, Google).
Our survey plays a central role in assessing levels of psychological safety within a specific team, division, or group company within your organisation. This comprehensive survey not only identifies areas for improvement but also offers tailored recommendations to enhance your organisation’s levels of psychological safety.
This is how it works:
Step 1: Decide whether you will measure a specific team, division or group company within your organisation.
Step 2: We will provide you with a survey link to distribute to the relevant participants.
Step 3: The data will be analysed by an experienced psychologist, ensuring a thorough and expert evaluation. Within 21 days, you will receive a comprehensive report, complete with personalised feedback and actionable recommendations. This is not an automated report; it is tailored to the specific needs of your organisation.
Step 4: Discuss the findings internally or with a specialist colleague within the Hesper GRC team, to agree actions and strategy.
Step 5: Repeat periodically, to monitor and demonstrate improvements.
Options
If you have specific concerns about particular areas within your business or seek a level of reassurance that your operations are running smoothly, we can customise the survey to measure additional elements.
Research has shown that low levels of psychological safety are significantly related to various critical business issues, such as employee engagement, trust, communication and incident reporting levels (for example, workplace accidents or near misses, supply chain issues, product safety, through to harassment). Our survey can be adapted to collect data on these specific issues.
To gain deeper insights, conducting staff interviews (we prefer to call them ‘conversations’) and/or focus groups which are additional to and go beyond the surveys, allow us to potentially uncover deeper, structural insights.
Face to face meetings with employees can help build trust, rapport and result in more meaningful data being collected that a survey alone may not always achieve.
Step 1: We work closely with you to plan the deep dive review, ensuring it aligns with your organisation’s unique needs and objectives.
Step 2: We hold a series of employee ‘conversations’ / focus groups.
Step 3: We provide a comprehensive and confidential board report which:
– Details the current psychological safety status;
– Highlights any other critical aspects which may arise during the employee ‘conversations’; and
– Offers actionable recommendations to improve psychological safety within your organisation.
Depending on the nature of the deep dive, meetings will be conducted by either a former regulatory lawyer who is highly experienced in conducting complex investigations; a senior HR specialist; an organisational or clinical psychologist.
