Wellbeing & The Safety Professional – Who’s Looking Out for You?
Valerie Stakes
As safety professionals, our primary role is taking care of others. However, just who is looking after you? In this session, we will address the toll our jobs can take on our personal and professional lives and share how prioritizing our own mental and physical health can lead to becoming a more resilient, effective safety leader.
