Best Practices - Even Better When Shared

I was so pleased to speak with Mike Mahanna, the Program Director for NAEM – The Premier Association for EHS Management, when he called this past May. I had been putting together costs estimates for possible future events and the NAEM Compliance Excellence Workshop was one of those events. That was perfect, according Mike, as he had an offer that would help with those expenses. “Speakers” get to attend the conference for free! The session was “Cultivating Employee Talents” and Mike was looking for speakers. Was I interested? Absolutely!

My work as the EHS Director with Muir Omni Graphics has given me the opportunity to work with different team structures within the company, each with its own mission and objectives. However, regardless of the mission, the opportunities for employee personal and professional growth and development are abundant. It is the team leader’s responsibility to identify opportunities and put those opportunities into action, in order to create an environment that promotes team member growth and development.

When it came to cultivating employee talents:  the team environment and the implementation of the “one on one” session are two of MUIR’s Best Practices, so I was able to put together a presentation quite easily.
