Psychological Safety Assessment

Find out what your team isn't telling you.

Every leadership team has blind spots. The only question is whether you discover them through data, or through an exit interview.

The Fearless Organization Scan is a research-backed psychological safety assessment that measures how safe people feel to speak up, challenge ideas and admit mistakes. Benchmarked against global data, it reveals where psychological safety is strongest, where it’s breaking down, and where your organisation should focus first.

Why measure psychological safety?

The costs of staying quiet rarely show up immediately, they surface later, in rework, stalled projects and resignations no one saw coming. Without psychological safety:

Mistakes remain hidden until they become costly.
Employees hesitate to raise concerns, so leaders act on assumptions instead of evidence.
High-performing people leave without warning.

The Fearless Organization Scan

Developed in collaboration with Harvard Business School Professor Amy C. Edmondson, the Fearless Organization Scan is one of the world’s leading assessments for measuring psychological safety.

The scan measures your team’s Psychological Safety Index (PSI) and compares the results against global benchmark data, giving organisations an objective view of how safe people truly feel about speaking up. Rather than relying on anecdotal feedback or engagement survey comments, the Scan provides clear, evidence-based insights that help leaders identify where psychological safety is thriving, and where it needs attention.

What you'll receive

Every Fearless Organization Scan includes:

A benchmarked Psychological Safety Index (PSI).
Results across four key dimensions of psychological safety.
A detailed assessment report highlighting strengths and development areas.
A facilitated debrief that turns findings into meaningful conversations and practical next steps.

What the assessment measures

The Fearless Organization Scan measures psychological safety across four dimensions that influence how teams work together.

01

Willingness to Help

Do colleagues actively support one another, or focus only on their own responsibilities?

02

Inclusion & Diversity

Does every voice have the opportunity to contribute, or only the loudest?

03

Attitude to Risk & Failure

Are mistakes treated as opportunities to learn, or reasons for blame?

04

Open Conversation

Are concerns raised during meetings or only afterwards?

Next steps

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.
