Access this research
Executive Summary
This report assists firms in understanding the benefits of using EHS technology, often already present within a firm, to support wider functions and the overall success of the business. Examining the traditional position of EHS as an isolated practice, that is essential but all too frequently underappreciated by the broader business, this report provides insight into how EHS resources can help mitigate the challenges faced by departments such as operations, HR, learning and development, logistics and facilities. Only by recognizing the symptoms of working in a silo, and appreciating the potential of EHS solutions, can organizations establish a strategy for successfully utilizing EHS resources beyond the typical scope.
