Conclusion

You have now completed the module of Psychological and Cultural Safety, well done! In this module we explored what Psychological and Cultural Safety are and how we can recognize them in a workplace setting. We also discussed the impacts of Psychological and Cultural Safety on organizations as a whole and on individual employees. We learned about the impact that these concepts can have on employee wellness, and specifically how they impact Indigenous employees in a workplace setting. We expanded on these impacts to then think about how we can make our workplaces culturally and psychologically safe environments for all employees.

These topics are big ones to consider, and sometimes it can feel difficult to know where to begin or how to create change within an organization. As we explored in this lesson, through understanding the importance of these concepts, and applying change to our daily working lives at the individual and organizational level, we can begin to create work places that are truly safe and inclusive for all employees.
