How psychological safety at Rowe helped me to release my true self
summary
Rowe creates a workplace where a long-hidden transition happens openly: a staff member tests reactions by playing murder-mystery Cadence in a Teams event, then sends one candid company-wide email with resources and asks leadership to take my lead — colleagues reply with supportive messages, engagement rises and attrition falls. The presentation cites Google’s Aristotle finding that psychological safety tops team effectiveness, Unilever’s 28-brand sustainable push and a 68% consumer preference stat, and practical moves like neurodiversity champions at CACI.
