Are you striving to empower your team and foster a more inclusive, collaborative and innovative workplace culture where everyone feels safe to learn, grow and contribute?
This comprehensive program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to administer, interpret and apply the Fearless Organization Scan — an innovative tool that measures and enhances psychological safety to drive greater team effectiveness.
What is Psychological Safety?
Psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes.
– Amy Edmondson
Extensive research in the field of organizational psychology and teaming by Harvard Business School Professor Amy C. Edmondson has revealed a strong correlation between psychological safety and team effectiveness. This is supported and reinforced by the findings of Google’s Project Aristotle on what makes teams successful.
What is the Fearless Organization Scan
Developed in collaboration with Professor Edmondson, the Fearless Organization Scan measures the Psychological Safety Index (PSI) and reveals how teams stack up against the global benchmark data
In this certification program, you will learn how to use the Fearless Organization Scan and interpret the results across the four key domains of psychological safety to enhance team effectiveness.

Program Structure
The program starts off with a 2-day face-to-face workshop that combines interactive activities, shared learning and reflection, as well as guided discussions to achieve the learning outcomes.
After the workshop, there will be an interval of 4-6 weeks where participants are required to carry out a practical application independently. They will engage a team of their choice to use the Fearless Organization Scan and conduct a debrief of the scan results for the team. An optional 1-hour group coaching session will delivered virtually to support participants during this period.
The program will end with a 1.5-hour closing session delivered virtually to debrief on the practical application. The entire process, from workshop to closing session, will take about 2 months.
To complete the certification, participants must do three things:
- Attend all sessions,
- Complete the homework, and
- Find a team to conduct their first pilot Fearless Organization Scan debrief. Workplace Asia does NOT provide a team for the debrief.
The program structure is summarized as follows:
- 2-day face-to-face workshop (16 hours)
- Practical application (over 4 – 6 weeks)
