Top takeaways:
5:55: The choice we make, things we do, responsibilities we fulfill have repercussions
6:12: There are systems and personalities necessary to have a SAFE business where people go home at the end of the day
6:50: What organizations overlook when considering health and safety for the overall health of the business
9:00: We must focus on both the physical AND psychological hazards to see the whole business being
10:00: Businesses can CHOOSE how risky they want to be. This becomes a CULTURE CHOICE
11:35: We can minimize/avoid harm through systematic processes
12:45: Have the right structure, culture, and conversations in place to support us, otherwise we are setting ourselves up for harm - both physical and psychological
14:25: Stories are what's needed for safety for businesses to help their people apply this within their lives and roles as this reinforces how concepts will personally affect them
16:30: People need stories of how other people are affected and not just "it's out there, so beware"
17:17: Stories of safety must:
18:20: who's the HERO, and who's the VILLAIN in your business safety story as this impacts the culture and personality of your business
20:20: What influences people and organizations is NOT always the same thing. Is it logic or emotion - know WHO you're communicating safety with and then work your story accordingly (e.g. engineering firm connects differently than a marketing firm)
22:08: Importance of message mapping to ensure the right story is packaged in a way your people will connect to it
24:25: Senior leaders, Health & Safety Supervisors and Managers have to be purposeful in the stories they are building to create the story that reinforces their right behaviour
28:00: Listening is how to start being intentional with your safety stories
31:45: We operate with different definitions of safety. Know the definition that you're operating in so you can connect the value of safety to the behaviour
33:06: It's not about changing people; it's about influencing them
35:07: We must connect all parties to communicate the vision & goals of the business personhood to operate at its most optimal, healthy level as a fully functioning organism
38:20: the heroes MUST be the ones who are doing the behaviour we want reinforced. The villains - discourage the behaviour.
41:51: Hear Eldeen's answer to what if...businesses realized that they are people too?
