“It is so imperative that employers are able to recruit and retain their workforce, now more than ever before. For me, that boils down to two things: keeping your existing employees happy and healthy, and differentiating yourself enough to attract new, prospective employees. One way we can do that is by creating a safe work environment that
allows people to thrive, not just survive. Together, we can work to strengthen the workplace safety culture with our policyholders and create a healthy, more productive environment people are proud to be part of.”
