How to make people your biggest safety asset, with Karen Hewitt

How to make people your biggest safety asset, with Karen Hewitt

People are critical to achieving safety success, we can all agree on that. But how can we turn people into our biggest safety asset?

Karen Hewitt, author of "People Power - Transform your Business in the Era of Safety and Wellbeing" is our guest this week, as we explore:

  • What working as an interpreter at the UN taught Karen and led her into the world of safety
  • What do we mean by an asset, how can people be an asset, and which people do we mean, exactly?
  • Why aren't organisations already achieving this?
  • How can they?
  • What is the basis of a mission that can excite and rally everyone? Does zero harm fit the bill on this?
  • What is transformational leadership and how can we benefit from it?

We also take thoughts and questions from safety professionals in attendance on the live webinar
