Industry Town Hall | Safe to Speak Up: Building a Culture of Trust

May 27th, 2025 10:30-12:00PM

A culture at work where everyone feels safe to contribute, share ideas, and try new approaches keeps people engaged. It creates positive word of mouth and keeps workers safer.

A 2023 report by the National Safey Council found that workers who felt psychologically unsafe on the job were 80% more likely to report they had been injured at work, requiring medical attention or missed days.

How can we build trust with our employees and teams? Make our workplaces more inclusive, supportive, and responsive? Encourage innovation and high performance without pointing fingers at mistakes?

In this virtual town hall, we have invited industry leaders from across B.C. to share the challenges they have faced and successful strategies for bridging gaps, building trust, and shaping cultures where everyone feels safe to speak up.

Join us for this critical conversation around best practice and lessons learned.

In this webinar you will learn

  • Gain insight from industry leaders on best practices for shaping safety culture
  • Discover who the major players are in supporting a healthy workplace culture—and the markers of a strong safety culture
  • Take away new insight into how leaders’ actions can impact and trickle down, how safety committees support, and ideas you can use today to support a culture of trust.
