Quotes from this episode

“Part of the success of reaching your goals, the primary goal that you have within your organization, or even in your Health and Safety department will be how effective you are at communicating the who, when, where, why, what and how.”

“You’re never having to panic on the 11th hour trying to put your weekly safety meeting together. Or you’re trying to think about what should the theme for the safety bulletin board be this month, you’ve done the work you’ve deposited into your content bank, and it is sitting there waiting for you to make a withdrawal.”

“You have to give your audience the message more than once, and more than in one way. So one email, five emails, that’s not going to work. You need to send an email and a text and a poster and a meeting and a one-on-one conversation.”

“We, as health and safety practitioners and professionals, need to think about how to use marketing and sales tactics to leverage behavioral changes.”
