Resilience date

by Mark Rowe

Events of 2016 showed that one thing is constant in the modern world; change. This trend will no doubt continue into 2017, says the British Safety Council, so to help organisations anticipate, prepare and respond to change to survive and prosper, the BSC is running a half-day, morning seminar on building personal and organisational resilience.

The seminar, in central Manchester at Double Tree by Hilton Manchester, Piccadilly, on Wednesday, February 22, will focus on ways of managing organisational security and safety, workplace resilience and personal wellbeing. The speakers come from a range of sectors such as policing and security, government, transport, training and development. For speaker details visit the BSC website.

Louise Ward, Policy, Standards and Communications Director at the BSC, is to chair the event. She said: “2017 is set to be a challenging year with political and economic uncertainty associated with Brexit and a new US President, as well as growing threats to both physical and cyber security. However, planning ahead and investing in people can boost resilience of both organisations and individuals so they can respond to challenges as they arise.

“Our seminar speakers, experts in their field, will share tips and advice and inspire the audience by example, especially people such as Nathan Douglas, double Olympian and Captain of the British Athletics team for the European Athletics Championships 2016, who will talk about his experience of building personal resilience.”

The seminar will also provide valuable networking opportunities, bringing together health and safety professionals from industry sectors and security and HR professionals, as well as others concerned with organisational and personal resilience from across the Greater Manchester region.
