Overview
A scenario-based, self-paced e-learning course on psychological safety at work. Learners step into the moments that decide it — someone admits an error, someone flags a risk late, someone disagrees with the room — choose how to respond, and see who speaks up next time and who goes silent, then learn the response that keeps people talking. Delivered as a SCORM 1.2 package for your LMS, with completion tracking.
Format. Self-paced, scenario-based e-learning. SCORM 1.2 — upload it to your LMS and completion tracks automatically.
Runtime. About 25 minutes of learner time, in 4 sessions the package spaces 2, 5 and 30 days apart. Measured from the narration in the package at the speed it plays, plus the time to read and answer what is on screen. It assumes you listen rather than reading ahead; times vary with the path you take and how fast you read.
Who it is for. Any organisation that wants to run this as self-paced learning; suitable for employees at any level.
What learners take away
- Identify what psychological safety is and why it is important
- Pinpoint the things that undermine psychological safety in a team
- Analyse the factors that drive psychological safety
