Tuesday 12 November, 10am-12pm
Tonsley Theatre 1

Thanks to the 2024 Campus Activation Funding, the College of Science and Engineering’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Group are hosting a morning on Psychological Safety – Creating a Speak Up Culture. We all know the consequences that can occur within organisations when people don’t feel safe and supported to speak up about concerns they have. We want Flinders to be a workplace and environment where people can speak freely without fear of humiliation, punishment, or other negative consequences. It is important for staff and students to feel empowered to share their perspectives and ideas. All Flinders staff and students are invited to join.

In this keynote, leading Australian WHS expert Karen Maher deep dives into “psychological safety”, explaining what it is, and how we can create and instil this important concept within our workplaces. You will benefit from real case studies and practical examples. More importantly, there will be takeaways that you can put into practice immediately.
Key learnings:

• What is ‘psychological safety’ and why every organisation needs it
• The advantages of building psychologically safe workplaces
• Practical strategies to encourage a Speak Up Culture within your organisation
