Analyzing and reporting team dialogue to enhance psychological safety

The proposed project will be to examine Reticle Ventures Canada Incorporated’s (Reticle) current way of coding and reporting on team psychological safety and validating their end-to-end system against current validated psychological safety measures. The overarching goal is to establish content validity of their current system by assessing whether their current framework is measuring what it is supposed to be measuring in line with current research. This will consist of three primary activities. First, developing a rigorous and effective reporting and debriefing process for teams to better understand their current level of psychological safety. Second, creating one individual psychological safety measure using current validated measures that are aligned with the Reticle framework to establish content validity. Third, develop and plan the validation study to begin in Winter 2023. The expected benefits to the partner organization is an improved system that is evidence-based that encompasses all of the current standards for psychological safety and team functioning.
