Greg Dearsly - Cultural Intelligence and Workplace Health and Safety
Manage episode 406507875 series 3534094
In this episode, Trisha speaks with Greg Dearsly, an Occupational Health and Safety Consultant AND a certified Cultural Intelligence Facilitator. Greg lives and works in Aotearoa New Zealand.
They speak about the impact of culture on safety at work and the need for Health and Safety Professionals to have a strong people focus and high cultural intelligence.
Greg shares sobering statistics about the impact of poor workplace health and safety in New Zealand and his passion to respectfully reach everyone within a workplace to improve that. And reaching everyone with respect means understanding where they are coming from, the languages and cultures they live within, and how aspects such as neurodiversity shape how people show up at work. And that needs cultural intelligence!
To increase that capability Greg has started a podcast – The Culturally Intelligent Safety Professional. Check it out on Spotify and IHeart Radio
