PDC 502: Understanding ESG, Human Capital, and Total Worker Health® Metrics Performance

Kansas City Convention Center 

CM Credit Hours: 3.5 

Few topics are more pivotal in organizational risk management than ESG (environment, social, governance) metrics. This PDC provides a roadmap to navigate, collaborate, leverage, and evolve ESG metrics to meet an organization's needs. Measurement science provides the foundation for understanding metrics development and validity, and for identifying the right metrics to support values-driven decision-making. Numerous frameworks (eg. GRI 403, Culture of Health for Business, Capitals Coalition Social and Human Capital Protocol) will be reviewed. The primary focus will be on the NIOSH Total Worker Health® framework. This holistic approach integrates health and well-being into ESG and Human Capital metrics. The NIOSH Total Worker Health® framework will establish alignment between metrics and organizational purpose, and material and significant risks and opportunities. A summary of rating agency and GRI 403 criteria is provided, and links between these and TWH® will be shown. Case studies will used to demonstrate applications, with interactive exercises to reinforce key points.

*Please note: Only participants registering for two (2) half-day PDCs on the same day will receive a box lunch. **Please note: power strips will not be provided at each attendee's seat; however, charging stations for laptops will be provided in each course room.

Upon completion, the participant will be able to:

• Leverage existing OEHS metrics to meet ESG and HC needs.
• Use the NIOSH Total Worker Health® to support ESG and HC needs.
• Integrate ESG and TWH® to improve worker safety, health, and well-being.
• Implement ESG and TWH® opportunities and metrics with senior management.
• Strengthen audit programs to support ESG and HC management needs. 

An understanding of NIOSH's Total Worker Health® framework by attendees is helpful, but not required. 

Attendees will broaden their understanding of ESG/HC metrics that are having a major impact on EHS management. 

OEHS professionals' grasp and ability with ESG and Human Capital issues is increasingly important. Few organizational functions are better prepared to provide leadership in these spaces than OEHS.
