About the Psychologically Safe Team Assessment
The Psychologically Safe Team Assessment is a free resource to help team leaders gather information from team members to help with continual improvement. This free online resource assesses teams across three categories: leadership, team interactions and inclusion.
This assessment will generate a Full Report that highlights both team strengths and areas for improvement. It provides many free and practical toolsopens a new window including suggested team activities, workshop materials and facilitation tips to help you build a more effective and resilient team. The Full Report also highlights specific strategies and resources for each of the assessment statement(s) you’d like to work on. These can also inspire you to use your existing knowledge and experience to choose alternative interventions that you know will help your team. Open and transparent discussions with your team about the results can build or maintain trust and commitment to the team’s success going forward.
A Team Report, which includes only the results, is also available for you to share.
The assessment is intended for teams of three or more to help protect the confidentiality of everyone. If your team size is less than three, you can still review and use the team building ideas, strategies and resources to help you take action. You can find these free tools and more at Workplace Strategies for Mental Healthopens a new window.
