Psychological Safety Isn’t What You Think

Gina Battye, CEO of the Psychological Safety Institute, challenges one of the most misunderstood buzzwords in today’s workplace: psychological safety. At PeopleFirst Summit ’25, she reveals why many organisations get it wrong by assuming it’s simply about speaking up. In “Psychological Safety Isn’t What You Think,” Gina unpacks the deeper layers — belonging, trust, and creating an environment where people don’t just feel heard, but feel secure enough to show up fully as themselves. Drawing from her extensive work with leaders worldwide, she shares practical tools to redefine psychological safety and embed it into daily operations, not just slogans. If you want your culture to go beyond surface-level fixes and actually help people thrive, this session is essential.
