In the race to protect their workers from today’s evolving risks and hazards, and to enhance their operational agility, organizations across the globe are taking steps to create a safer, more people-centric construction industry. Leading organizations have begun to do this by connecting their health, safety and well-being (HSW) initiatives with wider business strategies. Not only are these strategies helping them safeguard and prioritize their workers, but it is unlocking new commercial opportunities – and this is just the beginning.

Health, safety and well-being, HR and business leaders in construction are invited to join BSI expert speaker, Kate Field as she explores three core principles professionals need to transform their organization’s HSW program:

  • Culture of change: How a mindset of prevention and proactiveness paired with a standards-based approach to HSW can boost organizational resilience and competitiveness.
  • Prioritizing people: How prioritizing the well-being and equality of workers can improve workforce productivity, agility and brand trust.
  • Strategic digitalization: How investing in the right technology will not only protect workers, but will deliver long-term commercial success.

Kate will also introduce BSI’s new best practice model on Prioritizing People, which provide a framework for unlocking the potential of individuals and the organization they work for.
