Urgent vs. Important: How to Connect Daily Action to Strategic Goals

EHS leaders know that urgent issues take priority.

If they don’t, people can get hurt.

And when each day is focused on urgent problems, there is little time to plan for the future. Yet, it is this long-term planning that helps reduce the number of emergencies.

Even experienced EHS leaders can get stuck in this reactive cycle. However, it is possible to adopt a different approach.

Join Intelex VP of Health & Safety Scott Gaddis to learn how top organizations balance urgent tasks with time for strategic work.

Key Takeaways:

• Break the reactive cycle with early warning indicators and escalation protocols
• Optimize time and resources to support both short- and long-term needs
• Transform incident data into strategic insight with Intelex’s EHS platform
