  • From Cubicles to Culture: How Design Shapes Psychological Safety
    Oct 3 2025

    The way a workplace is designed can either amplify silence or create the conditions for people to speak up, share ideas, and perform at their best.


    In our latest podcast with Dr. Peter Brace, Founder of PsychSafety Asia-Pacific, we explore how trust and safety shape collaboration, innovation, and business outcomes. When leaders and workplaces create environments where employees feel safe to speak up and take risks, organisations unlock higher engagement and resilience.

    At Paperspace Asia, we are award-winning strategists who design offices into thriving workplaces, driven by data-backed employee insights.


    We are located in Singapore, Bangkok, and Manila.
