Unfashionable discussion of emotions but supported by many of the statements from speakers at this World Congress

We need more Love in our workplaces.

Totally agree…..going to be a multifaceted challenge…also to somehow embed these messages across a wide range of disciplines, education, learning..etc

But now having safe and healthy work is an unarguable fundamental right!! The goalposts have changed but people haven’t realized.

Etc

It means there are other matters to look at before focusing on health and safety – something that always resonated with me is you cannot mandate culture. Also you cant chance someone’s beliefs and hard to change values, but behaviors can be worked on and developed.
