Beyond the “isms”: Building a Better Safety Culture
Racism, sexism, ageism are the three well known “isms” that have a negative impact on workplace safety, productivity, and organizational culture. And while diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are trending topics, most companies do not have clear steps to identify and correct the “isms” within their organizations. In this interactive and dynamic session, Kahlilah Guyah will guide you how to identify any “isms” in your culture and start a plan for correction that includes elements of DEI. Take your company culture to the next level as you create a more psychologically healthy and safe work environment.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the benefits of DEI in the workplace
- Identify the connection between DEI and EHS
- Distinguish your DEI and EHS ideas for the next steps in your organization

“Ms. Guyah showed an unparalleled command of the issues and best practices to keep our executives accountable and our workers healthy and safe. Her adept combination of case study stats with real-life relatable stories kept the whole audience engaged. The mark Ms. Guyah left was felt well after the presentation as our group met for an additional hour to create action plans based on her talk.”

“I highly recommend Kahlilah as a potential speaker! She was wonderful to work with and helped shape a DE&I panel for the better. The panel was extremely well received by our audience, and she received only the highest feedback. Looking forward to working with you again, Kahlilah!”

“Kahlilah delivered an engaging and thoughtful presentation for the ASSP Northwest Chapter’s first ever virtual professional development conference (PDC). She seamlessly broke the topic of mental health & safety down to the foundation while also going high level – so there was something for everyone. The chat was alive, participation in poll questions was high, and there were conversations that extended beyond her session into private messages and chats. Kahlilah clearly made an impact on our attendees and I would not hesitate to ask her to speak at another event (maybe in person someday!) or hire her as a consultant.”
