"We need to create workplaces that promote wellbeing...ensuring psychologically safe workplaces is not just about encouraging innovation and collaboration; it is a key factor in reducing stress-related absences and improving overall workforce participation and productivity.

However, this challenge is occurring alongside a shift in corporate priorities, with some organisations moving away from equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) programmes.  This raises concerns about the long-term commitment to creating inclusive workplaces that support employee engagement and wellbeing.  Without a sustained focus on EDI, businesses risk undermining psychological safety and employee trust, which are vital to both individual and organisational success."
