The Guiding Principles Of Safety - with Kessie Stevens
This week, Colin is joined by international guest, Kessie Stevens, founder of Artis Solutions in Alberta, Canada, who discusses her journey through the world of safety in the workplace, why a more flexible approach is the future, and why awards do not necessarily reflect the real face of an organisation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Learning about safety is an ongoing pursuit. It begins with a spark of interest that grows and develops, driving us to want to know more and do better.
- In the new world of work, it's important to provide our people with a more flexible environment. We have spent so long in shaping a new way of working, it's unfair to expect that the world can simply go back to the less efficient methods it used to employ.
- Companies seem to want to be the best through awards and certification. But often, these forms of recognition do not tally with the actual way they operate and do not reflect the inner culture.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's so important to have that flexibility'
'People are scrambling to find good safety people'
'Good health and safety is just good business'
