Ep 189 - Psychological Safety Isn’t a Tick-Box: Leadership, risk & workplace culture with Ebony Dignan

Psychological safety is now written into workplace legislation — but what does that actually mean for leaders, managers, and teams in practice?In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess is joined by Ebony Dignan, Director of EJD Advisory, for a grounded, practical conversation about psychological safety, leadership responsibility, and workplace culture — and why compliance alone is never enough.Ebony brings her expertise in governance, risk management, and advisory work to unpack how organisations can move beyond box-ticking exercises and into real behavioural change that supports both people and performance.Together, we explore:What psychological safety legislation means in practice for leadersWhy leadership behaviour sets the tone for workplace cultureThe role of communication, trust, and self-reflection in managing psychosocial risksWhy one-size-fits-all wellbeing approaches often miss the markHow middle managers shape day-to-day safety and cultureThe importance of proactive check-ins — not “set and forget” frameworksHow strong people practices support retention, resilience, and business performanceThis episode is especially relevant for business owners, leaders, directors, and managers navigating increasing expectations around psychological safety — and wanting to do it well, not just legally.A timely, human conversation about responsibility, trust, and building workplaces where people can perform and feel secure.Send us Fan MailSupport the showEnjoying the podcast?
