GlobalJet Execs: Positive Work Culture Boosts Safety
The leadership of business aviation maintenance training provider GlobalJet Services say it's time to focus on "soft skills."

Improving an organization's culture directly relates to improved safety, two leading training specials say, adding it also can provide a boost to efficiency. During Bombardier’s Safety Standdown on Wednesday, JD McHenry and Rich Bean, the respective CEO and president of business aviation maintenance training provider GlobalJet Services, emphasized the importance of the “human side” of culture, particularly how leaders and managers interact with their teams.

“We work really hard on the technical skills, but I think it’s time we really focus on our soft skills” to build a positive culture, McHenry said.
