Making Safety Personal in a Time of Social Distancing
Have your safety communication soft skills taken a back seat during the pandemic? You’re not alone. The rush to implement COVID-19 mitigation protocols has eaten up a significant amount of time and resources across the board. As a result, many safety leaders haven’t been able to go beyond the basics, focusing instead on technical and compliance safety messaging. To make matters worse, social distancing, occupancy limits, and face masks introduced barriers to in-person communication— where soft skills are often used to build real connections and gain employee buy-in. And yet, it’s still your responsibility to move the needle on everything related to safety, not just COVID-19 mitigation.
In this webinar, you’ll learn why soft skills—like the ability to make safety personal—are more important than ever. In addition, you’ll discover practical ways to influence front line employee behavior… even as social distancing and an evolving workplace continue to mess with your safety communication mojo.
