WorkShift

Over the last 10 years the construction sector has seen significant progress in reducing injuries.

In fact, they had over 1500 time-loss injuries at one point, and now have less than 500 on an annual basis. We're seeing improvements because people want to see real change. And in construction, leaders have moved from knowing about safety, to really caring about it.

A shift in safety culture doesn't come easy. But when it does, we can point to one thing that’s made the biggest difference, and that's strong leadership.

What is WorkShift?

It’s been said that we learn from experience. But we can learn a lot more when we add the experiences of others to our own.

On WorkShift, we're putting leaders in workplace safety on the mic to talk health, safety, but most of all, leadership in a world that has changed forever. Hear the stories behind their successes, and their failures, and how they’re meeting the same challenges you may be facing.

Whether you’re a leader or someone who enjoys inspiring conversations, WorkShift will change the way you think about work.
