Safety Connection: Managing Young Workers - What Every Supervisor Needs To Know
Duration: 1.5 Hours
Have you ever looked back at something you did as a teen did and thought, “What was I thinking?”. You aren’t alone. Teen brains really do see risk differently. But did you know that research demonstrates the most predictive key performance indicator for reduced young worker injuries is their frontline supervisor? This session helps managers lead with insight by understanding the psychology and physiology that contributes to young worker risk. Participants will leave with evidence-based strategies for effectively tailoring risk messaging for younger audiences, build virtuous communication cycles that support working relationships, and learn why saying “my door is always open” isn’t enough.
