In the special Health & Safety Leaders edition of Vima tis Kyriakis (30/11), Alexandros Sofianopoulos, General Manager of GEP, explores how Occupational Health & Safety is evolving into a key strategic pillar of sustainability and organizational resilience for modern businesses.
In his article, he highlights how the digital transformation and the use of Artificial Intelligence are reshaping prevention systems, enhancing risk forecasting and enabling data-driven decision-making in real time. At the same time, psychological safety and the meaningful empowerment of employees are emerging as decisive factors for overall wellbeing and organizational performance.
The culture of prevention is no longer viewed as a compliance obligation but is becoming a strategic growth choice, intrinsically linked to sustainability, competitiveness and business resilience.
Within this evolving landscape, the role of health and safety professionals is also undergoing a significant transformation – moving from “compliance managers” to strategic partners of executive leadership, delivering tangible and measurable operational impact.
