Gina Battye’s Biography:
Gina Battye is a leading authority on workplace psychological safety and the Founder and CEO of the Psychological Safety Institute. Recognised for her transformative impact on organisational culture, Gina is the creator of the globally adopted 5 Pillars of Psychological Safety and a sought-after keynote speaker for businesses aiming to embed inclusion and belonging at scale. She is also the acclaimed author of The Authentic Organization: How to Create a Psychologically Safe Workplace, a finalist at the Business Book Awards. Gina’s work equips leaders with practical frameworks to build environments where people feel safe, valued and able to perform at their best.
Gina’s career began in high-pressure frontline environments, including working within probation services alongside some of the most dangerous offenders in Northern England. Her early professional experiences exposed her to complex human behaviour and risk. However, it was her time in further education that became a defining turning point, where she personally experienced workplace homophobia and systemic failure when reporting it. These challenges, alongside being stalked earlier in her career, shaped her determination to challenge harmful workplace cultures and advocate for meaningful change.
Building on these experiences, Gina developed innovative frameworks, including the 5 Pillars of Psychological Safety and the Hierarchy of Psychological Safety, now utilised by multinational organisations worldwide. Through the Psychological Safety Institute, she collaborates with global brands and works alongside the University of Cambridge Judge Business School to deliver research-led solutions to cultural and organisational challenges. Her CPD-accredited programmes and consultancy work have positioned her as a trusted advisor to senior leaders seeking measurable cultural transformation.
In addition to her consultancy and research, Gina is an award-winning speaker whose work has reached audiences of over 10 million people globally. Her thought leadership is grounded in lived experience, enabling her to deliver powerful, practical and emotionally resonant keynotes.
