Communicate your Way from Compliance to Care
Speaker: Karen Hewitt Karen J Hewitt_Biography.pdf

With the global shift in focus from health and safety to wellbeing, organisations worldwide are looking to make their own shift from Compliance to Care. Both are essential, but making Care a priority makes your Compliance more likely to happen, in a virtuous circle that benefits all parts of the organisation.

But with a Culture of Care seemingly so intangible and elusive, where do we start?

One option is through effective communication.

It’s no substitute for the structural changes required but may well be the lever that creates the space and ownership that employees and their organisations need to change, allowing them to take a deeper dive into (and a more systemic approach to) what human beings really need to thrive at work.
