Virtual Roundtable: Beyond the Hard Hat: Checking In, Not Just Checking Boxes

Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2025
Time: 8am - 9am
Location: Virtual Zoom Session

A thriving safety culture doesn’t happen through policies alone, it grows when leaders genuinely care. In this open discussion, we’ll talk about how safety professionals are building relationships and emotional awareness on the job. How do you “check in” with your crews beyond the paperwork? What small, human moments help prevent burnout, disengagement, or unsafe decisions? Bring your experiences, challenges, and insights for a real conversation about leading with heart in a high-stakes industry.

What you’ll learn

• How emotional connection and authentic communication strengthen safety culture.
• Practical ways to “check in” with your crews beyond compliance—recognizing stress, disengagement, or burnout before it becomes a problem.
• Leadership strategies to foster trust, respect, and openness across all levels of the organization.
• Real examples of how companies are improving morale, retention, and safety outcomes by prioritizing empathy and human connection.
• Tools and conversation starters to bring emotional awareness into your own safety meetings and programs.
