The article “Innovation through psychological safety: Lessons from LA-BORA! gov” sheds light on the importance of psychological safety in the workplace and how it is crucial for innovative public management.

Psychological safety at work not only enhances innovation but also directly reflects on the quality of services provided to society. When employees feel safe to express their ideas and learn from their mistakes, it creates the conditions to continuously improve how the government operates and constantly learns from the needs of service users, the Brazilian people.

LA-BORA! gov was born out of a vision to renew the way the government operates, emphasizing the creation of an environment where public employees feel welcomed and secure to share their ideas. Our focus is to empower employees, foster collaboration, and cultivate a culture of trust and mutual respect. This atmosphere of psychological safety allows innovation to flourish and the best ideas to be transformed into actions that benefit all of us.

Our laboratory, LA-BORA! gov, has been working to bridge the gap between vision and reality. We prioritize leadership training and practices that promote an open and supportive work environment. These initiatives are aimed at equipping leaders and teams with the necessary skills to create an environment conducive to innovation. After all, innovation is the engine that drives continuous improvement in public services, resulting in more effective deliveries for society.

We invite you to learn more about our journey and the importance of psychological safety in the complete article available in Portuguese or English, and join us in this important mission!
