Episode Details

Today's Guest:

Today, I'm sharing a recording of a Safety Roundtable discussion where we discuss the overlap between sales and safety and what we can learn from good sales directors.

If we want to get our teams to be passionate about safety we need to get them involved in the discussion and invested in the outcomes.

This episode, we talk about ways we can encourage proper safety practice, the issues with incentivizing safety performance, and how to sell safety to your organization and team members.
