Creating a Speak Up Culture


The fear of speaking up in our workplaces is still very real.

We all know the consequences that can occur within organisations when people don’t feel safe and supported to speak up about concerns they have. Notwithstanding this, the fear of speaking up in our workplaces is still very real.

On 2nd November 2022, Karen Maher presented her “Creating a Speak Up Culture” keynote, as part of the NSCA Foundation webinar series, sponsored by ecoPortal.

Karen is passionate about building great workplace cultures and the prevention of psychosocial hazards such as bullying and sexual harassment. Karen focuses on the fundamentals of great culture and leadership to make this happen.

During this webinar, Karen Maher will deep dive into “psychological safety”, explaining what it is, and how we can create and instil this important concept within our workplaces.

Participants benefit from real case studies and practical examples. More importantly, there will be takeaways that you can put into practice immediately.  You will learn:

  • What is psychological safety and why every organisation needs it
  • The advantages of building psychologically safe workplaces
  • Practical strategies to encourage a Speak Up Culture within your organisation
