An assessment to measure psychological safety in your organization.
The Fearless Organization Scan.
As a leader, you say all the things you’re “supposed to,” like “speak up,” “there are no bad ideas,” and “ask for help when you need it.” So, why does your team still hold back? The truth is, you might have a storm flying under the radar.
Yes, we like to think about work conditions a little like the weather. You’ll get it because you’ve driven on a bad Michigan morning in the dark. Even if you’re the best driver in the world, the conditions are going to make driving harder. In the same way, your employees can’t perform at their peak until work conditions are clear or, in other words, until they feel secure enough to show up without reservation. At Thought Design, we exist to help you create optimal work conditions, but first, we need to know where we’re starting.

Before you scan, you might be wondering...
How much does it cost?
The price of this service varies based on unique pre-planning needs, the number of surveys collected, and post-survey debriefing preferences. Once we learn more about your goals, we'll send a customized proposal for your consideration. There will be a base rate for the service + a per person rate for each person surveyed.
How long will it take?
Most participants complete the assessment in 3-4 minutes. Once the results are in, we typically recommend a 2-3 hour team debriefing session to explore the results and create strategic action plans.
What will my employees think?
As your partner, we'll help you prepare your employees for this experience in a live or recorded information session. We carefully consider all interactions so your team feels safe and confident to speak freely.
Can I administer the scan myself?
Yes! We offer a certification training process that allows you to administer, interpret and utilize the Fearless Organization Scan to identify levels of Psychological Safety in teams and organizations. Learn more about that here!
What happens after the assessment?
Once the results of the survey are in, we will create a report that is presented to the entire group in a workshop setting. During this debriefing session, we'll walk through the results so that everyone understands them. From there, we'll begin important conversations about how the team can address any issues that surfaced. In some cases, our services will continue after the debrief in the form of coaching leaders and supporting the team through skill-building workshops.
What if we get bad news?
You can't change what you can't see. In other words, no news is bad news! All news is information that will get you closer to your goals. Consider your final report a mirror of what's happening for your team and hold the results with empathy, compassion, and our favorite—curiosity.
Do you have a resource that further explains psychological safety in the workplace?
