EHS & HR Budgeting for Success in 2026
It’s budget season and HSI can help you budget smarter, invest in technology and training, and obtain leadership buy-in. By tying your budget to both compliance needs and long-term organizational goals, you can make a stronger case.
When presenting your budget, connect technology investments to measurable outcomes—reduced incidents and injuries, improved employee engagement and retention, and stronger compliance. Technology and training aren’t expenses; they’re strategies that prevent bigger costs down the line.
HSI has resources to help you make the case to leadership:

AVIRT equips participants with the skills, confidence, and hands-on experience to help save lives when every second counts.
