A team is only as psychologically safe as the least safe person on the team, and those with least safety tend to be those who are already minoritised, disadvantaged, or under-represented.
Psychological Safety, Diversity & Inclusion
Inclusion is at the core of psychological safety, and must be defined as a central team value. Any individual behaviours or beliefs that don't align with the principle of inclusion must be addressed.
