Culture by Design: A SAFE Framework for Workforce Wellness and Belonging
This engaging session introduces the SAFE Framework—a practical, people-centered approach to building psychologically safe, connected, and high-performing teams. Participants will explore how intentional culture design can reduce burnout, strengthen engagement, and increase retention by focusing on safety, awareness, feedback, and empathy. Using tools such as the Culture Audit Wheel and reflective exercises, attendees will learn how to assess their workplace culture, identify areas for growth, and create environments where staff feel seen, valued, and supported. The session blends behavioral science, leadership development, and wellness strategies into a replicable model for everyday use. Participants will leave equipped with actionable insights and ready-to-use tools to foster trust, belonging, and sustainable workplace well-being.
Objectives for this session:
Apply the SAFE Framework to identify and address workplace factors that impact engagement, belonging, and retention.
Analyze team dynamics using the Culture Audit Wheel to uncover strengths and barriers to psychological safety.
Develop an action plan for integrating human-centered, trauma-informed practices that promote wellness, trust, and collaboration across teams.
