The S.A.F.E.T.Y. Accelerator
For forward-thinking organizations committed to building a culture of high-performance through trust, candor, and innovation
The Problem: The Invisible Tax on Performance
When teams operate with low psychological safety, they pay a heavy, invisible tax on performance. Fear of failure stifles creativity, valuable insights are lost because employees are afraid to speak up, and your best talent quietly leaves in search of an environment where they feel valued and respected. This isn't just a culture issue; it's a critical business problem that directly impacts your bottom line.
The Solution: A Framework for Peak Performance
The S.A.F.E.T.Y. Accelerator™ is a comprehensive program designed to systematically build a culture of high performance. We move beyond surface-level engagement surveys to install the five core conditions necessary for teams to thrive: Security, Autonomy, Fairness, Esteem, and Trust.
Our three-phase approach creates lasting change
Diagnose
We start with data. Our proprietary S.A.F.E.T.Y. Assessment provides a clear, quantitative baseline of your organization's psychological safety levels, identifying specific strengths and critical areas for improvement.
Equip
We facilitate targeted workshops for leaders and teams, using the S.A.F.E.T.Y. framework and the power of Gallup's CliftonStrengths to create a common language, build understanding, and equip managers with practical tools to foster a safer, more inclusive environment.
Sustain
We provide ongoing coaching for leaders to ensure new behaviors are embedded into daily habits. This crucial step turns workshop insights into a sustainable cultural shift, ensuring long-term impact.

Why should you invest in your team’s safety? The Financial Return of a Fearless Culture
Investing in psychological safety is one of the highest-return investments an organization can make. The data is clear and compelling.
Dramatically Increased Retention
According to a study highlighted by Gallup, replacing an employee can cost 1.5-2x their annual salary. Organizations with high psychological safety see significantly lower voluntary turnover. A 2021 McKinsey study found that employees who feel a strong sense of inclusion and safety are far less likely to leave, potentially saving hundreds of thousands in recruitment and training costs.
Boosted Productivity & Performance
Google's groundbreaking "Project Aristotle" study found that psychological safety was the single most important factor in high-performing teams. Teams with high psychological safety were more effective, with members who were less likely to leave, more likely to harness the power of diverse ideas, and ultimately, brought in more revenue.
Unleashed Innovation
A culture of fear kills new ideas. A 2020 study in the Journal of Business and Psychology confirmed that psychological safety is a direct predictor of a team's willingness to experiment and innovate. When employees feel safe to take calculated risks without fear of blame, the organization's capacity for innovation expands exponentially.
