The Power of People: Leveraging the business value of Health and Safety for Corporate Success
Workshop Session Co-presented with Andresa Hernandes
‘People are at the core of every thriving business and their ability to contribute is influenced by their health, safety and well-being.’ People, a company’s human capital are foundational and essential to business success.
What are the challenges and barriers you experience when managing workplace safety and health in your company? Typically, it is around finance, company culture, value, contribution and compliance. When the value of workplace safety and health is integrated into the business: financially, culturally and operationally, the value of safety and health of a company’s people are understood and leveraged in the context of the business and better business decisions are made, proactively. Leveraging your company’s culture, stakeholders collaboration opportunities, human capital, balance sheet and profit and loss statement, this workshop will introduce you to impact valuation and value accounting methodologies and principles to influence decision-making to collaboratively identify the true value of safety and health to your company and its stakeholders.
Join Andresa Hernandes, Vice President of Safety for Siemens AG and Kathy Seabrook, CEO Global Solutions Inc as we introduce you to an innovative impact valuation methodology for workplace health and safety and decision making. Business integration is key. Many organizations manage workplace safety and health separately from business. This workshop provides tools, resources and real world, hands-on, interactive opportunities to conduct health and safety impact valuations, ultimately monetizing the true value of safety and health on a balance sheet and in a profit and loss statement with the ultimate goal of influencing decision-making in your company.
