Building a Resilient Team: Empowering Every Voice in Risk Management 

Thursday, May 21, 2026 @ 11 a.m. ET | 4 p.m. GMT

Friday, May 22, 2026 @ 9 a.m. GMT | 12 p.m. AEST

Vanessa Mathews 
Founder & Chief Resilience Officer, Asfalis Advisors

The most effective risk management doesn't happen in the C-suite or the risk department—it happens on the front lines, where individual contributors encounter risks, spot emerging issues, and make decisions that impact organizational resilience every day.

Yet most organizations fail to tap into this critical resource. Employees see problems but don't speak up. They encounter risks but lack the tools to respond effectively. The result? Vulnerabilities go unaddressed, and your organization's risk culture remains fragile.

Join Vanessa Mathews, chief resilience officer, Asfalis Advisors, for a transformative Risk@Work webinar that shifts the paradigm from top-down risk management to organization-wide resilience. This webinar will equip you with practical strategies to empower individual contributors at every level—giving you the tools, confidence, and psychological safety needed to manage risks proactively and contribute meaningfully to a resilient workplace culture.

Vanessa will demonstrate how to build an environment where concerns are welcomed, not feared; where every team member understands their role in organizational resilience; and where speaking up becomes second nature. Whether you're a risk leader, people manager, or organizational development professional, you'll leave with actionable frameworks to activate the dormant risk intelligence already present in your workforce.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Equip individual contributors with practical tools and frameworks to identify, assess, and respond to risks within their sphere of influence to build confidence and capability at every organizational level.
  • Create psychological safety and effective communication channels that enable team members to express concerns without fear, ensuring critical risk intelligence flows freely throughout the organization.
  • Develop and reinforce a resilient workplace culture where every employee understands their role in risk management and actively contributes to organizational resilience through daily actions and decisions.
