Also, there's an absence of active communication between the employer and employees, which creates distrust among individuals, thus giving birth to a very negative environment.Slowly but steadily, times are changing. Workplaces with fair attention to psychological safety are evolving with minimum effort of employers to increase motivation and stirring up the engagement levels could not only lead to positive working environments but also better the performance of employees.1.
