2023 Safety Awards Breakfast
Join us for the Annual AGC of Utah Safety Awards Breakfast as we show appreciation for the hard work done by construction companies in our state to keep people safe. We will be celebrating companies for their safety records and safety practices.
Keynote Speaker: Scott DeBow - Principle Health & Safety Advisor for Avetta
The global pandemic highlighted the importance of the well-being of our workforce, both inside and outside of our workplaces.
Today’s workforce is also becoming more and more complex. Many companies’ employees span five generations, with each having a different communication style. Companies are also increasingly using contingent workforce (contractor, temporary staffing) to supplement their labor strategies, creating additional gaps and barriers in areas such as critical safety communications. This is creating a greater need to further define the resources and boundaries needed for an effective safety management system within our shared workforce, and inclusion and development of the contractor community we depend on to complete good work is as important as ever.
Even after the pandemic, the stress placed on business systems continues today as technology has advanced, supply chains are interrupted and standardized schedules are disrupted. The old, transactional-based, formal methods for mental health and psychological safety aren’t effective. In the past, these methods provided help and resources but didn’t build supporting networks within employee communities that prioritize relationships and foster interpersonal connections, which are vitally important to creating positive risk communications we depend on for good, safe work to occur.
Scott’s presentation will show professionals how to integrate the socially transformative elements of psychological safety within our work systems while finding a unique opportunity to advance the benefits of reducing risk and error in the workplace alongside greater business outcomes. Both are needed for a safe and productive workplace in the future.
