Over 170 behaviours to build psychological safety
The Big List of behaviours that help to foster greater psychological safety and performance in groups. This list is ever-growing and evolving, and you can even suggest additions!
Measuring Psychological Safety
Here you’ll find a guide to measuring psychological safety – what to look out for, how to design surveys and run qualitative research.
If you’re interested in diving deeper and carrying out your own surveys, consider attending our Measuring Psychological Safety online workshop.
The Circle of Safety
The Circle of Safety is a great way to surface the things that help foster psychological safety in a group, as well as the things that can damage it. By agreeing what is “in” and what is “out”, groups can help establish shared group norms and expectations, improving psychological safety.
The Psychological Safety Quadrant
The psychological safety quadrant is a really powerful (and fun!) exercise that helps participants learn and understand psychological safety, as well as an opportunity to qualitatively measure psychological safety, and can be carried out remotely or in-person.

Psychological Safety Meetups and Psych Safety Days
We run regular online meetups and Open Lean Coffee events as well as annual in-person Psych Safety Days in different locations . The general online meetup format is a 2-hour virtual meetup (using Zoom), open to everyone, focussed on psychological safety theory, practice, and related topics. We start off with a brief introduction and housekeeping, followed by a 25-minute talk, and then group discussions (but there’s no expectation to speak up – you may remain silent, with your video off, for the entire meetup if you wish).
Thanks to the folks at the psychsafety community for helping organise it. Find out more at our meetup page.
If you’d like to listen to the music that we use in some of the meetup, you can listen to the Psychological Safety playlist on Spotify here!
