We are delighted to today announce the launch of the inaugural Psychological Safety Week, a new international initiative created and presented by Pearn Kandola and supported by media sponsor The Financial Times.

Taking place from 22–26 September 2025, the week will feature free online events, downloadable resources, and daily workplace challenges—all designed to help organisations understand and implement psychological safety: the belief that people can speak up, share ideas, and take risks without fear of negative consequences.

Recognised in Google’s renowned Project Aristotle as the top predictor of team effectiveness, psychological safety has become increasingly important in a world facing hybrid working models, fast-evolving technology, and global uncertainty.

Professor Binna Kandola OBE, Co-founder and Senior Partner at Pearn Kandola commented:

“Psychological Safety Week arrives at a crucial moment.  As organisations grapple with new ways of working and the impact of AI and social change, creating psychologically safe cultures isn’t just good practice—it’s a competitive advantage. We’re proud to lead this conversation, and grateful to the Financial Times for their support as media sponsors.”

Rukasana Bhaijee, Global Head of DEI at the Financial Times, commented:

“We’re pleased to support Psychological Safety Week as media sponsors. At the FT, we believe psychological safety is central to inclusive and effective workplaces, and we’re excited to amplify this important initiative.”
