We are please to Welcome: 

Shae Birkey, Indsustry Account Manager, Safety Services, Caterpillar.   

Shae will present  ‘My Brain Made Me Do It: Psychological Drivers of Employee Behavior.’

There is more than meets the eye when an incident occurs.  When leaders understand the drivers of human behavior, how the brain works, and how to use biology to our advantage, it is easier for them to understand the connection between people, culture, and performance.  Through specific examples and personal experiences Shae will help you achieve an understanding of the psychological mechanics behind risk assessment, human reaction and communicating in a way people will pay attention.  

 Key Learning Objectives:

• Discover how to approach safety from a place of curiosity versus compliance
• Understand the various personal and cultural drivers on decision making
• Learn how to utilize tools to help communicate with impact
• Discover ways to use this information in order to drive safety performance
