Great podcast! Management engagement?
Impressive podcast! I've been listening to it to reinforce the concepts covered in class with Phillip.
Reflecting on my current company, I wonder: How can I respectfully request management to be more engaged by participating in at least one safety meeting at the field occasionally? There seems to be a significant gap in understanding due to differing working hours. Jobsites typically commence at 7:00 am or 6:00 pm for night shifts, while management adheres strictly to office hours (9:00 am - 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm).
Is it unreasonable to ask them to adjust their schedules to attend and actively participate in at least one PTP, JHA, or toolbox meeting per month? Should they indeed consider doing so? I firmly believe that the construction industry demands adaptability and availability from all stakeholders, including management. However, how can one effectively persuade a manager to alter their personal schedule for a day per week or month to demonstrate engagement with the jobsite?
To clarify, by "Management," I refer to project managers, project engineers, field engineers, and project coordinators.
Challeging
Phillip has a unique way of discussing and teaching important information that challenges my thinking. I feel smarter after every talk and at the same realize I have so much more to learn. I am a better safety professional because of Phillip and so many employees and peers benefit from it! Thank you Phillip for helping me be better!
Simply the best!
I’ve known Phillip for over 20 years and cannot say enough about him! Phillip and I have taught together in the safety world - but each time I have the privilege of working with him I’m always enamored by the words that come from him. While he’s both factual and informative on the subject matter at hand - he’s able to speak to human performance. He truly get to the root of why events/things may happen not only in the workplace but through the course of life. He brings a certain amount of spirituality to these podcasts, as well, that makes him simply the best!
