What is Psychological Safety?
Strong psychological safety is at the core of high-performing workplaces. FlashPoint’s psychological safety solutions are designed to quickly integrate a language of inclusion and ensure your leaders, employees, and team members are safe to contribute, challenge the status quo, and innovate.
The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety™
Everyone deserves a work environment where they can be their authentic self, express vulnerabilities, be valued for their contributions, and challenge old ways of thinking. That’s where The 4 Stages™ comes in.
The 4 Stages™ model outlines four progressive stages. Teams progress through these stages as they intentionally create cultures of rewarded vulnerability.
The 4 Stages™ is flexible to meet the needs of senior leaders, managers, and individual contributors at all levels, including both intact and cross-functional teams.
Inclusion Safety
Learners feel they can be their authentic selves and part of the team.
Learner Safety
Learners feel they can grow and not be punished for setbacks or mistakes.
Contributor Safety
Learners feel they can make contributions and are creating value.
Challenger Safety
Learners feel they have the leverage to innovate and make things better.

PSindex™ Team Assessment and Team Workshop
Measure your team’s current cultural impact and equip them with the tools, shared language, and understanding they need to make lasting change.
A leader’s team takes a 5-minute psychological safety assessment to benchmark their level of psychological safety and debrief their results as a team.
Available as a 1/2 day in-person, or virtual program for teams led by a leader with 3 or more direct reports, the expertly facilitated session creates a shared language and understanding while shining a light on team norms and leader behavior around vulnerability and patterns of interaction. A PSindex reassessment and 1:1 debrief with the leader, and individual coaching are available as reinforcement options following the session.
