Over his 26-year career with Trus Joist Corporation (now a Weyerhaeuser business), Randy Goruk was part of a dynamic senior management team whose change initiatives increased annual revenues from $60 million to $1 billion. Today, as a leadership development expert and employee engagement specialist in the construction industry, Randy draws from his experience of taking multimillion-dollar companies through tough times while delivering practical insight into today's business challenges and achieving higher levels of business growth.
With the challenge of retaining a stable workforce, it is critical for all levels of leaders in the construction industry to develop and refine their communication skills. Less than stellar communications can lead to a disengaged workforce, which leads to costly mistakes, quality problems, missed opportunities, productivity challenges, safety concerns, and employee turnover. This webinar will share proven, effective, and easily implementable communication strategies to engage your team and elevate their performance.
The Psychology of Safety: Understanding Employee Behavior in Uncertain Times:
Learning the psychology of safety will help you understand the drivers of differing employee behavior. Especially during uncertain times, people behave differently based on a variety of factors, including what is important to them. Our experts help you understand these drivers and make a connection between people, culture and performance.
Presenter: Jenny Krasny, Operational Risk Consultant, Caterpillar Safety Services
Communication Strategy: Supporting Safety Through Words and Deeds:
Leaders, either by title or influence, constantly send messages that shape others’ attitudes and drive their behaviors. Intentionally or unintentionally, every communication and action from a leader tells a story about what’s important to him/her. Learn how you can build a strong communication strategy, especially during uncertain times, to demonstrate your commitment to safety and drive safe behavior throughout the entire organization.
Presenter: Abby Fansler, MS, Communication Consultant, Caterpillar Safety Services
Demonstrating Commitment: Taking Safety from the Office to the Frontline:
Leaders have a wide scope of influence and accountability, so it is critical that they demonstrate commitment to safety through both words and actions, just as they do for production. It starts with leading by example, but true leadership goes beyond wearing proper PPE and ensuring others do the same. Learn tips to create and sustain a culture of positive safety performance through leadership, communication, training and recognition.
Presenter: Justin Ganschow, CHMM, CSP, Business Development Manager, Caterpillar Safety Services
