The concept of psychological safety has evolved from its initial focus on individual well-being to a broader emphasis on team dynamics. While extensive research has explored psychological safety primarily at the individual and team levels, the role of social safety in this context remains underexplored. Reflecting on my 20 years of experience in corporate environments across five countries and nearly a decade in academia, I realize the critical importance of feeling safe in both personal and professional settings. The physical threats are not the focus here. Instead, I discuss the nuanced distinction between psychological and social safety. This discussion traces the development of psychological safety, beginning with Rogers’ emphasis on individual creativity, moving through Kahn’s focus on personal engagement, and advancing to Schein’s organizational learning and Edmondson’s team-based perspective. I critique how these frameworks intersect with the concept of social safety. By integrating ontological and epistemological perspectives, I explore the prevailing notion of psychological safety and highlight the indispensable role of social safety in fostering a natural psychologically safe environment. The exploration underscores how this interplay supports collective wellness and inclusion, providing a compelling view of how psychological and social safety contribute to a more inclusive and supportive organizational culture.
