Kristine Sexter, Industrial and Organizational Development Consultant, Joins the Safety Institute

The Safety Institute is thrilled to announce today that Kristine Sexter, acclaimed industrial and organizational development consultant and trainer, has joined us as an Associate. Kristine works with industrial clients such as manufacturers and power generation companies, who want to develop workplace cultures focused on safety and profitability. She relies on her over 22 years of experience in recruiting, motivating, and retaining right-fit talent to bring expert service to her clients and audiences.

Kristine uses her body of work, including six books, and experience in consulting with executives, managers, and leaders to take a holistic approach to developing organizations focused on attracting, hiring, and retaining best-fit employees. Kristine offers a diverse array of workshops aimed at leaders at all levels of the organization including, Where to put Your Recruiting Dollars. In this session she divulges the top five sources for finding safety-committed, ideal-fit employees in a world where it is increasingly difficult and competitive to attract them.

In her workshop Motivating without Money, Kristine reveals steps for dramatically increasing employee engagement and commitment to safety.

Safety Institute CEO Carl Potter said this, “The addition of Kristine Sexter to the Safety Institute provides a great opportunity for clients to tap into an expert with a proven track record of guiding leaders to achieve greater profitability through recruiting the right employees and motivating them to be part of a workplace culture that is focused on safety and operational excellence. In fact, The Oklahoma Alliance for Manufacturers has called her, ‘THE’ authority in teaching executives and leadership teams how to find, train and keep great employees.’”

Safety is your responsibility first and everyone else’s second. Go out and reason your way by learning, thinking, discussing, and doing.
