Last year, the U.S. endured 23 weather disasters costing a billion+ dollars in damages each — a ~7x increase since the 1980s. These billion-dollar events disrupt operations, strain healthcare and benefits and put managers in the position of making safety, staffing and support decisions they’ve never been trained for. Yet in most organizations, disaster preparedness lives only with safety or facilities teams. That means the leaders responsible for building workforce capability — learning and development (L&D) — are often left out of the conversation while managers and employees bear the impact.

This session pairs a former FEMA resilience leader with workforce health and total rewards practitioners to show L&D leaders exactly where they fit. You’ll leave with tools, messaging and strategies you can bring back to your team to strengthen preparedness before the next disruption hits.

This interactive webinar will provide easy-to-understand insights on:

• How to identify your organization’s biggest disaster preparedness gaps — and which ones L&D is best positioned to close
• How to equip managers with the right tools and decision-making frameworks to support employees through extreme weather and disruptions
• How to build the internal case for connecting HR, safety and operations teams through shared learning — before a crisis forces it
