She Means Business with Nida Yousuf

July 09, 2025

This month’s "She Means Business" session at HPL featured the distinguished HR expert Nida Yousuf, who delivered an insightful talk on the importance of psychological safety for women. Her authentic and relatable discussion struck a chord with the audience, as she explored challenges women often face throughout their careers.

Nida highlighted how subliminal stress and anxiety are real and persistent when a woman struggles to claim her space. She emphasized that a strong support system plays a critical role in creating sustainable pathways for women’s growth—both professionally and personally.

Citing research, she noted that psychological safety significantly boosts productivity and efficiency. Unfortunately, microaggressions often go unnoticed, yet their repeated occurrence can become a serious obstacle in a woman’s personal and professional development.

Nida concluded by reminding us that psychological safety isn’t built in a single workshop—it’s nurtured daily, through consistent actions that allow authenticity without penalty.
