SUDBURY – Two well-known mining executives in Sudbury talked about the importance of inspiring people to work safely, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because people who feel safe about their work are likely to perform better.
Gus Minor, Chief Operating Officer at Sofvie Inc. in Sudbury, was joined by Chris Bamberger, a mining operations consultant, at the Workplace Safety North 27th annual mining conference held last week.
Bamberger, who is also a member of the WSN mining advisory committee, asked his audience to name the best traits of good leaders and people. He was given answers such as compassion, trust, clear communication, support, commitment, and purpose.
He said all the answers were exactly what people expect.
He said the best traits in any workplace boil down to three factors where people feel safe, feel significant and feel situated.
