Psychological safety isn’t evenly distributed. In every organization, some employees feel empowered to speak honestly while others stay silent out of fear, marginalization, or lived experience. This session examines the structural, cultural, and identity-driven factors that determine who feels safe raising concerns, sharing ideas, or challenging decisions. We’ll explore the hidden power dynamics that shape voice and silence, the uneven consequences of speaking up, and what leaders must redesign to create environments where every employee can contribute fully without fear.
