EHS on Tap: The Podcast for EHS Professionals

Miscellaneous


There has always been a tendency for organizations to silo into discrete units, which can make it difficult to address many of the day-to-day problems that arise through normal business. Now, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues disrupting how company's look and operate, it is more important than ever to have open channels of communication within an organization. In this special episode of EHS on Tap, my colleague James Davis from the HR WorksPodcast (hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/podcasts/) joins me to interview an environment, health, and safety (EHS) and a human resources (HR) professional from one of the largest private companies in the United States: Koch Industries, Incorporated (www.kochind.com/). Our collective goal is to better understand how EHS and HR work together, overcome challenges, and otherwise collaborate to make their workplace safe during a crisis. Our guests are Walt Malone, VP of HR for Koch, and Sheryl Corrigan, director of environmental, health, and safety for Koch.
