Auditing EHS Audit Programs; What’s it all about?

Presented by: Dr. Mike Green and Jon Nagy of Environmental Standards, Inc.

A well developed and executed environmental, health, and safety (EHS) audit program provides essential assurance services for a company.  Among other critical elements, a periodic external review of the audit program is a leading practice (some audit programs actually have a requirement for a periodic external audit).  Surveys have shown, however, that most EHS audit programs and their sponsoring executives do not have extensive experience with these highly valuable reviews.  In this presentation we will cover the principal reasons for conducting periodic evaluations of an EHS audit program (including the expected benefits), how the evaluations can be conducted, and what standards are suitable as the basis for the review.  We will also cover how review results can be reported and offer considerations for how companies can respond to identified opportunities for improvements and related observations in a manner that will lead to value-added enhancements of EHS audit program effectiveness and efficiency.

Leadership is different for every individual, but there are some aspects of leadership that are distinct for women.

Teamwork – Diversity & Inclusion

Presented by Susan Hileman

People are unique. We each come from different backgrounds, generations and cultures, as well as having different ethnicities, personalities, beliefs and upbringings. Diverse and inclusive organizations perform better than homogenous ones – but only when each person feels able to bring their authentic self to work each day. In this virtual event, participants will learn tactics to build and engage strong teams that leverage each individuals’ strengths, as well as techniques for identifying those with strengths that will make their team more successful.
