On our Inclusion in Progress podcast, we often talk about how we help our client partners from around the world design psychological safety for their virtual teams. 

 

But what does building psychological safety look like on our own fully remote team at Team IIP? And how do we apply those same lessons to our company as we evolve?

 

That’s exactly what we’ll look at in this episode of the Inclusion in Progress podcast.

 

Here’s what we’ll explore: 

 

• What we’ve learned about the importance of psychological safety, well-being, and work-life balance for DEI practitioners

• Why Team IIP believes that rest is even more necessary in a fast-changing world and ever-evolving work environment

• How we’re applying what we share with our client partners to our own company culture of psychological safety on our virtual team

 

You’ll also hear examples of how we model psychological safety in our day-to-day interactions as a fully distributed team - as well as why we will continue to create time off for our mental health and well-being moving forward.
