How did we get here?
Back in the 1900’s… okay, we’re not that old. Back in 1999, our founder realized the only way to get health and safety advice came at a high cost through private consultants. It was in that moment Systems 24-7 was born. We believe in providing expert advice and guidance at an affordable rate so that every organization can have an effective health and safety program.

Infection, Prevention and Control
Recorded: September 15, 2021
​
When SARS and H1N1 hit, many thought we'd seen the worst of it. But nothing could have prepared us for the COVID-19 pandemic last year. For those that weren't in healthcare or food services, the words "infection prevention" were probably rarely heard. The reality is, EVERYONE needs a good infection prevention and control program. Whether COVID-19 sticks around or disappears, there are always risks of infection in the workplace. One uncovered sneeze during flu season can set your workplace into a spiraling chain of absenteeism. What are the lessons we've learned and the take-aways needed? Let's prepare now so we don't get caught in the dark again.
​

Breathing Well at Work
Recorded: June 16, 2021
​
This is a topic that covers many important areas, like health and safety and wellness. When people start to experience shortness of breath, they typically start to avoid all the activities that cause them discomfort, rather than asking the question WHY. Why aren't we breathing well? Is it something in the air at work, is it something medical like asthma, or could it even be stress? While avoiding activity might seem like the solution, does it actually make it worse? Take a deep breath...and let's get talking.
​
Leadership Training & Skill Development:
Identity Theft and Security
Recorded: May 19, 2021
​
The year is 2021….(cue the sci-fi movie music). Cars are not yet flying, but information is flying faster than the speed of light. But let's get serious. We're in a time where information changes so rapidly that it is becoming hard to stay up to date. Scammers and hackers are getting more and more creative in finding ways to steal our personal information. How do we protect our identity? Is what we innocently share on the internet harmful? What do we do as business owners, employers, and everyday people to protect our security?
​
Leadership Training & Skill Development:
Effective Orientation Programs

Leadership Training & Skills Development:
How to Discipline Effectively
Recorded: January 20, 2021
​
Discipline should not simply be “writing up” an employee when an infraction has been made. The purpose of discipline is to correct behaviour, not to punish or embarrass. Communication, coaching and mentoring may resolve issues without having to discipline employees, but if unacceptable behaviour is a persistent problem or if the employee is involved in misconduct that cannot be tolerated, discipline should be used to help correct the problem

Compliance vs. Culture: Shifting from Strict Rules to a Culture of Using Good Judgement

Join us as we discuss how to start this culture change in our workplaces.
