Social safety refers to a working climate in which employees feel free to express their opinions and do not fear humiliation or intimidation by colleagues or superiors. This is a necessary condition for effective cooperation, learning and performance. How does one achieve such a socially safe working environment? Which leadership can contribute to this? During this session, Sandra Groeneveld, Professor of Public Management at the Institute of Public Administration, shares insights from scientific research. Based on examples from the field, tips will be given for promoting social safety in your own work environment.
