90 - Safety Culture: The Maturation Process (Room 25C)

10 Sep 19
3:15 PM - 4:15 PM

Tracks: Mgmt. Ldrship., Empl. Engmt. & Cltr.

The maturation of a safety culture isn’t a linear process – it can involve steps forward, backward and sideways. Although it’s not always pretty, it’s necessary. The only way a culture matures is to understand the importance of bridging the gap between employees’ hearts and minds. This requires a people-based approach that looks at personal, professional and organizational shortcomings and successes. Are we courageous enough to be real? In this session, we’ll explore the process of evaluating the maturity of our overall safety culture, as well as subcultures within the organization. We’ll challenge our current thinking to affect a paradigm shift. Let’s begin the journey.
