Challenge Tips

Reflect and Commit to Ongoing Growth

You’ve started the process to build psychological safety within your workplace. Celebrate your efforts! Know that maintaining the trust, equity, and openness you’ve helped create is an ongoing process. It requires self-awareness, continuous learning, and intentional action for you and your team.

Your Action for Today

Reflect on the past 9 days. How did your words, actions, and responses affect your colleagues? How did they affect you?

Make a commitment to personal and professional growth by continuing to foster a safe, supportive, and collaborative work environment. Continue your progress by:

• Writing down 3 key insights from this challenge
• Identifying 1 long-term habit you want to maintain
• Sharing your reflections and commitment with a colleague or mentor for accountability
• Bringing this topic to your organization’s safety or quality committee to begin a discussion

Psychological safety can transform nursing teams. It reduces feelings of stress and burnout and increases job satisfaction — which contribute to a nurse’s well-being. It also results in better patient care, stronger teamwork, and a healthier workplace culture. Fostering open communication, trust, and a commitment to growth empowers nurses to make a more meaningful impact on health care.
