In a rapidly changing world, continuous product and process innovation are necessary elements of sustainable organizational performance.

However, the stress of uncertainty reduces individual creativity and diminishes the drive to explore and challenge existing norms.

Focusing on psychological safety as a strategic priority helps counter that tendency. Embracing “what if…” questions fosters a culture of curiosity for generating possible solutions rather than fear of failure.

In this episode of Atlas Copco Group People Podcast, Cecilia Sandberg, SVP & Chief Human Resources Officer and Dorna Eriksson Shafiei, VP Talent & Learning explore what psychological safety is, why it matters and how we can all contribute to building trust-based environments for the teams we work in.

Tune in and learn about psychological safety as the foundation for a high-performing workplace and how we all play a role in creating that for each other!
