Safety: The Gateway to Engagement
Mark French, PhD, MBA, CSP, ASP, SPHR, EMT
Elliott Room
Safety is so much more than preventing harm to our teams. It is the first step of creating real engagement and communication through all levels of our organization. Protecting people is not a result, it is a process that is under-utilized for engagement. Using a psychological foundation, an exploration of human motivation, and real-world examples, this session focuses on protecting our team and creating methods to better engage our people. Learning objectives include:
- Understanding engagement;
- Understanding how safety programs lead to employee engagement;
- How to leverage safety to learn more about your organization; and
- Practical tips for creating stronger engagement strategies.

Supporting Military-Connected Employees
Sarah Jemison, BA, CPS and Krista Murtha
Shelby Room
This session addresses substance use prevention within military-connected employees including the Kentucky National Guard, Veterans, and their family members. Data shows military-connected individuals have higher rates of alcohol and other drug use as well as other related consequences compared to non-military-connected individuals. Substance use negatively affects the workplace through lost productivity, workplace accidents, injuries, absenteeism, low morale, and increased illness costing employers billions of dollars every year. As employees demand better workplace cultures, it's a crucial time to understand how the unique experiences of military and veteran families can have tangible implications on employee behavior, motivation, and engagement. This presentation provides participants creative “outside the box” approaches to improve total worker health for military-connected employees, increase productivity, and enhance overall business operations. Establishing policies, programs, and practices in the workplace that focus on advancing safety, health, and well-being of employees helps individuals, their families, communities, employers, and the economy as a whole.
