Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.
Many organizations around the globe are instituting and implementing their return-to-work policies so that workers can return to their worksite. However, with the COVID-19 Delta variant now a threat and rising COVID-19 rates in certain areas of the world, risk professionals need to make critical decisions on how to advise on the best ways to reopen.
Rejoining the podcast to discuss the topic is RIMScast friend, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky! Dr. Tsipursky is the CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts, LLC. — a boutique consulting, coaching, and training firm empowering leaders and organizations to avoid business disasters.
In this episode, Dr. Tsipursky discusses how business leaders can make wise decisions when implementing their organization’s return-to-work policies, return-to-work risks, and the cognitive biases that are holding leaders back in becoming more flexible — a trait that is incredibly needed in today’s world.
