Have you ever noticed how those around you can influence your attitudes and behaviors? Have you taken note of how you influence the attitudes and behaviors of others? As the link between management and the workforce, supervisors are uniquely positioned through direct contact to respond to employee needs. This interactive workshop will provide insight on how training/mentoring and professional certifications have equipped one organization’s supervisors with the ability to positively impact safety. Topics include the importance of building relationships based on trust and respect, the necessity of a solid foundation of technical knowledge required to safely perform work, positive recognition, and establishing expectations through sound communication practices.
