Description

In times of crisis, leading people safely requires a different playbook. Circumstances are changing quickly. Employees are distracted by the crisis, and they are afraid. At the same time, safety never sleeps. Brian Fielkow, CEO of Houston-based Jetco Delivery and executive vice president of Montreal-based The GTI Group, and Jorge Chavez, Jetco Delivery professional driver and Road Captain for American Trucking Association’s America’s Road Team, will provide hands-on tools that operations and safety leaders can deploy now to ensure safe outcomes in the COVID era.
