Communication and interpersonal skills are key to environment, health and safety and sustainability professionals’ success, according to NAEM research.
The latest stage of NAEM’s on-going benchmarking research into how companies staff their EHS and sustainability function looks at the skills, knowledge areas, attributes and salaries of EHS&S professionals at different levels of an organization.
The research finds EHS and sustainability professionals say their strongest skills are written communications, translating technical concepts for non-expert audiences and managing without authority.
Last month Enviance and Environmental Leader hosted a free webinar on how to achieve EHS success in 2015. It is now available on-demand.
