Conference Session

A4: My Leader the Role Model: Stories of Team Psychological Safety

Speakers | Katie Bobra, MPH-HP

Hear from employees on the City of Calgary’s Healthy Workplace team about the great practices that have been established in their team to create a healthy workplace environment and how they support other leaders in the organization to do the same. Everyone on the team contributes to the shared experience and rather than striving for perfection, they focus on continuously improving, learning, and growing and proactively anticipate ways to address challenges to psychological safety. Their practices, that are anchored in the CSA Z1003 National Standard for Psychological Health & Safety in the Workplace and the 13+ psychosocial factors, are embedded in strategic planning, team planning, the way work is carried out, and day to day interactions. Their Corporate programs and initiatives, such as the Corporate Psychological Safety Pulse Check, are piloted in their team to ensure they support each other first before helping others across the organization.
