Being treated in a dismissive or contemptuous manner sends the message that a person is unworthy of respect ,and can reinforce the belief that no one is taking them, their actions, or their words seriously.

If they feel powerless, there could be situations where accidents occur because they feel safer remaining silent rather than alerting others to potential hazards.

When psychological safety is lacking, especially in environments where people are attacked or ridiculed for who they are or what they represent (for example, when a person is being bullied), this can impact the person’s confidence and self-image. 

The resulting anxiety and low self-esteem can manifest as vacillation, delay, hesitation, indecisiveness, and lack of assertiveness.

These factors can compromise both their safety and the safety of others.

The human nervous system defends itself from psychological danger in the same way it defends against physical danger — by initiating a fight, flight, or freeze response.

A person’s full attention becomes focused on the perceived threat, which can lead to serious accidents.

When a person responds to a perceived threat, the INTENSITY of their response can trigger others.

Fight and Flight responses often escalate the level of conflict.

in the absence of Psychological Safety:

Any exposure to disgust, sarcasm, blaming, shaming, criticism, dishonesty, aggression, bullying, discrimination or harassment can trigger an Amygdala Hijack.

Amygdala Hijack refers to our brain's most impactful response to physical or psychological threats.  When the Amygdala has been hijacked, brain function in the cerebral cortex becomes significantly compromised.

The profound impacts of Amygdala Hijack include:

The effects of Amygdala Hijack ripple through your organization, causing reduced productivity, financial losses, high employee turnover, disengagement, accidents, and mental health challenges.

* When Amygdala Hijack is occurring, it means that a person is in a state of Fight, Flight or Freeze.

They will remain in this state until physical or emotional safety has been restored. As long as they remain in this state, their ability to reason; their ability to accurately construct memory of what is occuring or to accurately remember what has occured remains compromised. They are having difficulty concentrating and are more prone to accidents. They're likely to aggresively transfer their own distress onto others and make take retaliatory action against any perceived source of the emotional or physical threat that they're responding to.

The goal of SAFE 2B is to cultivate environments where Amygdala Hijacking rarely occurs, and on the rare occasions when it does , to ensure that the person who has been triggered, feels safe enough to rapidly return to an emotionally regulated (no-longer-in Fight, Flight or Freeze) state.

The program is delivered to three tiers of participant

Leaders receive individualized executive coaching to support a culture of psychological safety.

Internal trainers receive extensive training to model psychologically safe behaviour and deliver online training to the rest of the workforce.

All employees receive training through our Safe 2B App to make psychological safety a shared responsibility in the workplace.

It is estimated that the cost of recruiting, hiring, and training a replacement  is equivalent to six months of their salary, plus additional expenses. Retaining one $70,000 employee could save a company $35,000 or more in a year.

Savings from SAFE 2B alone, could significantly offset the cost of providing SAFE 2B Training to every single employee and manager.
