What is Psychological Safety in the workplace?

20/01/2025 15:00:45

We are launching two new toolkits to support an essential element of high performing teams on 6 February.

Psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing workplace teams and central to creating a culture of wellbeing and productivity, which is why we are launching two new toolkits on Thursday 6 February.

New Psychological Safety Toolkits 

This new resource for solicitors and legal workplaces is one of a series of Culture First initiatives provided by Law Society Psychological Services. The toolkits explore how to cultivate professional environments where legal professionals can thrive and do their best work.  

One toolkit is primarily aimed at anyone who leads or manages people, from the managing partner of a law firm to general counsel or team leaders, to learn more about building psychological safety in your legal workplace. The second toolkit contains three accompanying activities that qualify for CPD by group study.  

You will be able to download both toolkits from the Law Society website following the launch on 6 February 2025.  

You’re invited: 6 February 12.30pm 

Join us on Thursday, 6 February from 12.30pm to 2pm in Blackhall Place for the launch of two new toolkits to inform legal teams and workplaces about psychological safety. A light lunch will be served. 

Hear Eadine Hickey, Leadership and Culture Coach at Resonate Leadership, and Katie da Gama, experienced Lawyer, Executive Coach and Leadership Development Consultant at Senatum, in conversation about the importance and benefits of a psychologically safe environment in the legal workplace. 

Places are limited so please RSVP by Friday 31 January.  

Culture First: Well Within the Law 

Putting culture first creates an environment where solicitors can thrive and do their best work, for themselves, their clients and their firms or organisations. Learn more about the work Law Society Psychological Services is doing to enable solicitors to thrive by placing culture first, enhancing psychological wellbeing, and building high impact professionals.
