British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCTaipei) is a value-adding resource that champions the business and social interests of its members in Taiwan. Made up of large and small corporations, individuals, and overseas associations, BCCTaipei is a strong and cosmopolitan mixture of successful enterprises in diverse industries.
BCCTaipei acts as a key resource for UK companies interested in the Taiwan market by ensuring that businesses, especially SMEs, have a direct line to assistance and networks. They provide landing pad services and offer a united but unbiased commercial perspective on all issues affecting British business interests in Taiwan, and Taiwan business interests in the UK.
BCCTaipei provides a broad range of membership activities and events including business networking opportunities and free-for-member Talent Development Workshops. BCCTaipei also has a number of Signature Events including the St Andrew's Ball, Charity Golf and Football Tournaments, and the Christmas Charity Auction. We also have a number of specific events, large and small, throughout the year focusing on CSR, Young Professional Development and Women in Business.
The Chamber is housed inside the British Office and shares a very close relationship to the Foreign Office, Department for Business & Trade and the British Council, and holds periodic joint events with other foreign chambers.
In conjunction with membership activities, BCCTaipei has donated over 18 million NT dollars to local Taiwanese charities, and has an active programme to support the CSR initiatives of its members in Taiwan.

Summary

Building a More Inclusive Workplace: The Importance of Psychological Safety


Workplace psychological safety is when employees have the ability and freedom to speak up, share ideas, admit mistakes and to challenge each other without fear of judgement. This allows employees to be the best of themselves, while employers with an inclusive workplace benefit from the best talent and better performing teams. This is especially a pertinent topic where gender bias, discrimination, and microaggression can prevent women from fully displaying their full potential.


In this session, participants will have the opportunity to discuss what companies and line managers can do to build trust and cultivate psychological safety, what employees can do to build allyship, and how women have overcome their psychological/mental barriers and develop their careers.


This session is organised by the Women in Business Committee of the BCCT. 


* Please note that the event will be conducted in Chinese.
