Leading Along the Edge of Risk and Safety: Join Our Webinar This ...

Image

In order to create and maintain a safe, productive workplace, managers must balance along the thin edge of innovation. In our eBook and accompanying webinar, expert contributors investigate how a culture of safety develops over time, so that when a problem arises, the natural first response is the right one.


Join the free webinar this Thursday with Elaine Cohen, Norman Marks, and Simon Herriot.

Sustainability consultant Elaine Cohen looks at safe driving practices and how they are not part of most corporate sustainability programs, but given the numbers of accidents on company time, they should be. Norman Marks, a risk manager at SAP, reviews his own daily commute as an example of how risk assessment can be made into a daily habit. Simon Herriot of DuPont addresses the importance role of the leader in creating enthusiasm for safety programs among employees.

In our webinar, these 3 panelists will take questions from the audience and specifically address:

  • How risk management can be made into a daily practice
  • Innovative community models for leadership, communication, and disaster response
  • The crucial importance of strong leadership in creating an environment where employees believe in safety as much as their risk managers do
  • Corporate responsibility and safety practices that managers often overlook

In the eBook (free with registration for the webinar or alone), 2 additional specialists contribute their experience and expertise. Elaine Scarry, Harvard professor and author, looks at several innovative Canadian communities where disaster preparedness became a community pact, and worked when governement response teams were out of reach. Finally, Wendy Harman, Director of Social Strategy at Red Cross, gives examples of how the organization has adapted to a century of change while delivering a consistent, and critical, message to the public across mediums and nations.
