Getting the First 90 Days Right: How to Protect New Workers
Oct 29, 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM - Buckeye AB
The first 90 days of employment are critical for the entire employee experience. This period sets the tone for safety, personal success and furthering the overall safety culture. Those first 90 days are typically the most dangerous of any employee’s career. Despite these facts, most organizations fail to engage employees, provide memorable moments or teach them about risk and mitigations. This session explores the imperative to get the first 90 days right, build relationships and set the tone for the organization’s safety culture. Participants in this highly interactive session will take part in group discussions about how the first 90 days integrate within the broader safety culture. There will be a simulation of what the new hire will experience once onboarded, outlining the best practices for managing work and risk. These challenges are particularly relevant as businesses struggle to attract and retain quality employees. Gain innovative examples of techniques to reduce the risk of injury in the first 90 days.
