Event Details
How Illinois Public Sector Leaders Turn Safety Into Bargaining Power
Presented by Dave Miller, Co-founder & CEO of Pursuit Pathways and Podcast host of Shield the Vulnerable.
Right now, workplace safety is being used against public sector leaders, not because they don’t care, but because they don’t have a system. In Illinois, employees now have a constitutional right to bargain over safety, and unions are actively leveraging gaps to expand influence . The question is no longer if safety will come up at the table, it’s whether you’ll be prepared to lead the conversation or forced to react to it.
This webinar will show you how to turn safety into leverage instead of liability. You’ll learn how to quantify ROI, implement immediate actions, and reframe negotiations using a proactive, system-based approach. If you’re responsible for HR, labor relations, or operational risk, this is your roadmap to stop reacting and start leading at the bargaining table.
Learning Objectives:
- ROI on building a safety culture
- How safety can act as leverage at the table
- Real-world application
- Impact on recruitment, retention, and engagement
An additional link will be sent after registration; please complete the form to receive the webinar link. The session will not be recorded.
