Psychological Safety and Mental Health in Times of Crisis
summary
Defines psychological safety via Edmondson and gives concrete steps: run a quick daily mood 1–5 check-in and track trends, add a short “how are you” to standups, adopt new working agreements (video optional, async vs. meeting rules), run Edmondson’s anonymous survey occasionally, schedule a 30‑minute weekly social coffee, force explicit retrospective actions with owners and deadlines, limit news intake, protect sleep and breaks. Cites a past survey finding ~7% reported deliberate undermining as an example of a surprising hidden risk.
