Every July 27, International Safe Places to Work Day recognizes organizations committed to eliminating fear and promoting psychological safety in the workplace. But fostering truer safety extends beyond physical hazard controls—it requires building a culture where all employees feel respected, supported, and empowered to speak up without fear.
United Alliance Services stands firmly with this mission. Psychological safety is foundational: it’s what enables teams to report concerns, share feedback, and collaborate effectively. Too often, negative behaviours—harassment, bullying, verbal threats—erode that culture and threaten both personal wellbeing and organisational performance.
Why Psychological Safety Matters:
-
It enhances mental health, engagement, and retention.
-
It improves risk reporting—when people feel safe to share, near-misses and hazards are addressed before incidents occur.
-
It strengthens team cohesion, leading to better problem-solving and innovation.
To support truly safe workplaces, we offer a comprehensive training course: Basic Workplace Violence & Harassment Prevention for Employees. This course equips staff to:
-
Recognize behaviours that may be aggressive, coercive, or harassing
-
Understand personal rights and reporting options
-
Respond effectively when witnessing or experiencing violence or harassment
-
Engage in de‑escalation and bystander intervention techniques
If your goal is to build a workplace where everyone can thrive—physically, emotionally, and socially—our tailored harassment prevention program provides the structure and confidence your team needs.
