VIRTUAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER OCTOBER 20th

6 DISCIPLINES OF BREAKTHROUGH TRAINING

Andrew Jefferson, CEO, The 6Ds Company, Inc.

EHS training is a means to an end, it is never the end itself. Despite that truth, all too often the training and training events become the main thing and the goals of EHS training are never realized. Do you want to treat EHS with the same rigor, business alignment, and support as every other organizational function? If yes, then start by improving all aspects of the EHS training function to ensure that it delivers on the promise!
