Presented by: Alexia Vernon

Every time an employee fails to speak up, it costs an organization an estimated $7,500 in lost productivity and turnover (Crucial Learning). In healthcare, the stakes are even higher—communication failures contribute to 250,000 deaths annually, making them the third-leading cause of death (Johns Hopkins).
Failure to create a “speak up” culture also drives burnout, legal risk, and reputational damage.
In this eye-opening session, Alexia Vernon will share practical strategies to build psychological safety, improve communication, and reduce costly breakdowns. Attendees will learn how to:
- Navigate high-stakes conversations before issues spiral
- Reduce legal, compliance, and patient safety risks
- Improve retention and workplace satisfaction by fostering trust and transparency
