Psychological safety: Free employee survey questions

Sample psychological safety staff survey questions

Psychological safety is one of the most important ingredients in a healthy team culture. And it’s often what sets high-performing teams apart from those who are struggling. When people feel safe to share ideas, ask questions and admit mistakes without fear of judgement or blame, real collaboration and innovation can happen. Employees can’t feel secure and able to speak up when they are on rocky ground.

Your psychological safety survey questions play a key role in understanding how psychologically safe your workplace really is. They should be clear, respectful and focused on what matters most — how people feel day to day.

This mini set of sample staff survey questions, created by our experienced team of HR experts, includes both quantitative and open-text formats to help you assess psychological safety across your organisation.
