Psychological Safety and Escalation Playbook

Create a culture where staff feel safe speaking up early and can escalate quickly through clear channels. Thoroughly focus on fact-based improvement rather than assigning blame.

Key Points (3 items)
1. Rule Establishment: Clearly define no-blame retrospectives, fact-first prioritization, and escalation paths to the next level up.
2. Visualization of Signals: Establish 'Stop the Line' criteria, R/A/G (Red/Amber/Green) status indicators, and post the person in charge, next steps, and deadlines on a board.
3. Time Allocation: Schedule a fixed 10-15 minute daily huddle. Managers should show curiosity and express gratitude to those who report issues.

Practical Tip
Conduct a monthly 'Speak-Up Drill.' Use actual near-misses or improvement cases as subjects to practice the entire process from reporting to decision-making, and measure and reduce the time taken to reach a decision.
