Safety Leadership for the Hybrid Workforce

Today’s hybrid work environment has altered the traditional employee-manager relationship. Leaders can no longer rely on in-person interactions to know how their employees are feeling and performing in their roles.

How are great safety leaders adapting to ensure a physically and psychologically safe work environment for their people?

Michael Teape, Owner and Lead Training Consultant at Teape Training International explains:

• The most important skills a safety leader should develop to effectively lead a hybrid workforce
• Why emotional intelligence and empathy can be more important than strategy and processes when managing employees
• Applying the SCARF model to stimulate meaningful conversations with your direct reports
• How over-communicating can help you identify and support employee needs
