COMMUNICATING PRODUCT SAFETY: STAKEHOLDERS, LANGUAGE, AND TECHNIQUES
A 7-part online webinar series on communicating within your company, within your industry, and with outside stakeholders.
Developed by the Society of Product Safety Professionals In cooperation with ADK Information Services, LLC
The design of this virtual webinar series has grown from feedback from product safety professionals over the years.
Our program will address such topics as: How can I be most effective in my job as a safety professional? How can I communicate effectively with senior leadership? What is the most effective way to communicate and educate company peers about the role of product safety in our company? What is an effective approach in communicating with product safety stakeholders including product design, marketing, and operations personnel within my company?
Our leadership panel will share insights and illustrations to help you analyze approaches to consider for your own day-to-day communications style within and outside of your company.
