010 HSE initiative not working? It might be your culture. (Marcy Strong, VisionWorks Consulting)

No Harm Health and Safety Podcast

In this episode of the No Harm health and safety podcast, host Marvin Polis talks to Marcy Strong from VisionWorks Consulting. Marcy is an organizational effectiveness expert who has worked for national and multinational corporations. The topic of this episode: Why is my HSE initiative not working? Well, it may be your culture. According to Marcy, we have a heavy reliance on policies and structure in the health and safety world. She says those things are important, but not the place to start. People and relationships are the place to start. We may think that we have a policy that will drive behaviours, but relationships in worker teams have more power. No Harm is the health and safety podcast for HSE professionals. We explore issues and initiatives to help you sharpen your professional skills and better understand emerging issues. The No Harm Podcast is hosted by Marvin Polis of Stimulant Strategies and Productions, a veteran producer of HSE video productions and publications for municipalities and corporations. Marvin talks to guests who share your passion for safety at work and beyond. Listen to us on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud or the podcast app on your mobile device. Just search for: No Harm Podcast.
