SAMPLE EMAIL TO YOUR BOSS.
Subject: Request to attend Workplace Health & Safety Show (21–22 October)
Hi {Manager’s Name},
I’d like to attend the Workplace Health & Safety Show at ICC Sydney on 21–22 October.
It’s Australia’s largest workplace safety event, bringing together 200+ suppliers, 70+ speakers, 40+ CPD sessions and 4 summits across safety, risk, compliance and wellbeing – relevant to anyone responsible for keeping people safe at work, regardless of industry or company size.
By attending, I’ll be able to:
- Stay up to date with changes in workplace safety, legislation and emerging risks.
- Explore new products and technologies that could support our workplace.
- Learn from experts and organisations tackling similar challenges.
- Exchange ideas with other professionals and gain different perspectives.
Attendance is free when registered in advance (with a $75 entry fee at the door).
I’ll share key takeaways and recommendations with the team, including any opportunities to improve our current approach.
Please let me know if you’re happy for me to attend.
Thanks,%%Your First Name%%
HOW TO ADDRESS YOUR BOSS'S TOP CONCERNS.
1. “Why do you need to attend?”Your response: The Workplace Health & Safety Show brings together the experts, suppliers and information we need to stay across what’s happening in workplace safety. It’s a good opportunity to learn what’s changing, see what solutions are available and hear how other organisations are approaching similar challenges.
2. “We can’t afford the time away from work.”Your response: I understand taking time away from work isn’t always easy, but the event brings a lot of relevant information together in one place, which can save time compared to researching suppliers, solutions and updates separately. If we attend as a team, we can divide and conquer the sessions, focus on different areas and share the key takeaways afterwards.
3. “Is there a cost involved?”Your response: The event is free to attend when we register in advance, so there’s no cost to access the sessions, CPD opportunities, suppliers and industry insights. The sooner we register, the easier it is to plan which sessions will be most valuable.
4. “How will we know it was worthwhile?”Your response: Previous attendees have highlighted the value of discovering new solutions, staying across legislation changes, learning from experts and connecting with others facing similar challenges. I’ll also share a summary of the key takeaways and any recommendations that could be relevant for our workplace.
