The Women's Foodservice Forum (WFF) consistently curates thought provoking content which inspires action. Mary LeMere's session on June 20th, covering psychological safety, is one that I’m especially looking forward to. Beside giving us the vocabulary and blueprint for crafting a psychologically safe work environment, Amy Edmondson's work shows the link to high employee and thereby, company performance. Psychological safety is more than just a belief that mistakes aren’t punished. It’s a full body knowing that you can bring your whole self to work, unleash your talent and create meaningful work with others.
We share core needs and desires, yet it’s through understanding our unique lived experiences that we truly celebrate our differences and similarities. As we move from diversity to inclusion to real belonging, tailored initiatives are key to progress.
