Leading And Learning Through Safety

After returning from the annual SHRM conference this week. The idea of empathy and inclusion is at the forefront. It is through empathy that we are able to really understand our team and help motivate a safety-oriented workplace. The idea of empathy goes well beyond physical safety. It is about being who you are and assuring that the organization is open to ideas and thoughts of its entire team.
