In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Clive Lloyd, a renowned psychologist specializing in safety leadership and culture development, best-selling author, and founder of GYST Consulting. 

Clive returns to Safety Labs with even more evidence that trust is the fundamental driver of safety management success. Where there are low levels of trust, there will be high levels of fear. Workers won’t report issues, so there will be no learning and no progress - as safety managers can’t fix a secret.

To solve this underlying issue, he introduces the 3 Cs model of trust - care, character, and competence - as foundations of authentic leadership and just cultures.

There is a rallying call for organizations to reassess their context, including policies, procedures, systems, and governance, rather than trying to fix workers.

This conversation gives EHS professionals compelling and game-changing guidance on building psychological and psychosocial safety, while creating caring - and safer - workplaces.
