MODERATOR:
As workplace health and safety (WHS) evolves from a compliance-driven function to a core element of corporate governance, organisations are being challenged to integrate safety into their leadership, strategy, and decision-making structures.
This session explores how embedding WHS into governance frameworks strengthens accountability, drives cultural change, and enhances business resilience. Through practical insights, you will learn how boards and executives can align WHS objectives with corporate goals, establish clear reporting lines, and ensure that safety performance is treated with the same strategic importance as financial or operational outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how to align WHS principles with governance structures to embed safety into every layer of leadership and decision making.
- Learn how to strengthen oversight and reporting mechanisms that hold boards and executives accountable for WHS outcomes.
- Explore methods to foster a culture where safety is viewed as a shared organizational value, not just a compliance requirement.
- Discover how a governance-led approach to WHS can improve trust, reputation, and sustainable business performance.
