Link your KPIs

Analyse psychological safety information with your KPIs to future proof your organisation

It is important to assess current levels of psychological safety across your organisation to recognise areas of excellence/challenges

  • Increased sales
  • Greater efficiency
  • Lower staff turnover
  • Reduced errors
  • Lower accident rate
  • Higher levels of work satisfaction
  • Increased customer satisfaction

These figures illustrate the theory underlying the effect of psychological safety on job performance and output taking into consideration workplace demands/resources and work strain. Bakker, A. B., & Demerouti, E. (2007)

Work strain is high demand, low control.

The two models illustrate the direct and indirect impacts of low/high psychological safety on work strain and organisational KPIs.

"Work strain is a form of stress that occurs when high job demands combine with low decision making, leading to adverse outcomes (Karasek, 1979)"
Low psychological safety increases work strain
High psychological safety reduces work strain

Key components

  • High Demands: Excessive, fast-paces, or conflicting work requirements
  • Low Control: Limited authority to make decisions, choose tasks, or manage one's own time

Common causes

  • Lack of Resources: Insufficient training or support
  • Environment: Poor working conditions, bullying, or role ambiguity
  • Time strain: High time demands combined with little control over the schedule

Common outcomes

  • Psychological: Low job satisfaction
  • Physical: Work fatigue
  • Organizational: Reduced performance and increased staff absence/turnover

Four stage process

The MPS Cube platform can encompass your entire psychological safety in a fluid four stage process

A Study in Safety

The project was featured in the Platform South magazine, the magazine produced by SCS Railways



"We have an opportunity to target a part of the organisation which doesn't usually go under the microscope but is so integral to the strategic message of the business. These people really are the glue that hold things together. So, getting a deeper understanding through the study means we can strengthen and make improvements."
