Psychological Safety Training
Psychological safety training works best when it targets behaviour rather than awareness. Everyone already agrees people should be able to speak up. What changes outcomes is knowing what to do in the moment.
Useful training covers what psychological safety is and is not, how to respond when someone raises something inconvenient, how to ask a question that invites a real answer rather than agreement, how to run a discussion where the senior view is not stated first, and how to separate examining a mistake from blaming a person.
One honest limitation is worth stating. Training does not create psychological safety on its own. A team takes its reading from what happens the first time someone raises something awkward, and if that goes badly the training is filed as words. Training helps most when it runs alongside leaders visibly behaving differently.
Safe Work Australia covers the related duty to manage psychosocial hazards at work. This is general information rather than legal advice.
