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
