What is psychological safety?
Psychological safety is a belief among team members who respect and trust each other that they are safe to take interpersonal and intellectual risks, make mistakes, and voice their concerns without the fear of retribution or negative repercussions to their career.
(Edmondson and Bransby, 2022)
Our tech-based solution is grounded in PhD research which examined the effects of psychological safety and leader behaviours in high-demand, high-stress workplaces. Helder Insight is a science-based AI-driven platform, designed to detect early signs of risk before it leads to harm. The product equips leaders with deep, preventative insights that help build mentally healthy workplaces, improve performance and retain talent.
Our founding partner, Dr Emma Clarke, conducted research using surveys and interviews with an extensive group of leaders, employees, and former employees of law firms. From these insights, she developed The Three-Factor Model of Psychological Safety™. When employees work in a climate of psychological safety this enhances performance, innovation, employee wellbeing, and retention.

After 20+ years working as a marketing consultant with businesses across the industry spectrum, Emma completed a PhD in Organisational Psychology.
Emma's PhD involved research across the schools of psychology, business and law, and focused on leadership behaviour, employee wellbeing and the role of psychological safety in the context of professional services firms. She developed The Three-Factor Model of Psychological Safety™ to 1) identify barriers and blind spots, 2) understand leader behaviours that influence psychological safety and 3) assess the availability and access to resources which help employees cope in high-stress working environments.
Based on the Three-Factor Model, Emma and her team have developed a preventative platform for psychological safety called Helder Insight designed to enhance workplace culture. She combines her consulting expertise with critical thinking and data analysis skills, to drive actionable insights for positive change. Emma is a member of the Netherlands Institute of Psychology (NIP) and the European Association of Work and Organisational Psychology (EAWOP).
