We’ll explore the challenges older safety pros face, the hidden strengths they bring to the table, and practical strategies for staying relevant, respected, and engaged in a rapidly evolving industry. Plus, we’ll talk about what organizations risk losing when they let experience walk out the door — and how they can retain that critical knowledge before it’s gone.
