Psychological Safety Assessment

Psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes. It is an essential element for building trust, encouraging collaboration and fostering innovation, which elevates team effectiveness and organisational outcomes.

It is important for leaders and HR professionals to know the level of psychological safety in their team or organisation, so that they can facilitate crucial conversations in the areas that are lacking. By creating a safe environment where individuals are comfortable taking risks and learning from errors, team members are better able to contribute fully, thus unlocking the team’s potential and enhancing its performance.

Introducing the Fearless Organization Scan (FOS)

The Fearless Organization Scan is an assessment to measure psychological safety and begin the crucial conversations that teams need to have in order to work well together. Developed in collaboration with Harvard Business School Professor Amy C. Edmondson, it is backed by more than 2 decades of research and widely regarded as the gold standard to measure psychological safety.

Using the Psychological Safety Index (PSI) that is based on Professor Edmondson’s work, this innovative tool reveals how a team stacks up against the global benchmark data across four domains that contribute to a safe environment as follows:

Willingness to help
Inclusion & Diversity
Attitude to Risk & Failure
Open conversation

The Fearless Organization Scan has been an invaluable tool — not just for measuring psychological safety, but for fostering deep reflection and growth across our leadership and teams. It provided a structured yet human way for our leaders to reflect on their management style and identify specific areas for development.

What truly stood out was how it opened up space for honest conversations — not only within teams, but also between individuals with differing perspectives. It helped our teams recognize and appreciate their differences, and more importantly, equipped them to work through those differences constructively. That shift from avoidance to alignment has been a game-changer.

This isn’t just another survey — it’s a meaningful platform for change. It challenges assumptions, strengthens leadership, and brings teams closer together. I highly recommend it to any organization serious about building a culture of trust, openness, and inclusivity.
