A speaker argues that investing in people matters more than equipment for national safety. Personnel in defense, police, and healthcare need support to do their jobs well.
It's interesting. You know, I do a lot of work in defense and security and I mean fundamentally defense and security is a top priority for any nations in the world, right? Yeah, you can buy a lot of planes, you can buy a lot of ships, Satcom equipment and missiles and radars. But at the end of the day, if you don't have the workforce behind it in order to keep us all safe, I mean you're due. It doesn't really matter how much you invest. Right? So I would argue that you could actually accomplish more by just making sure that you've got the right workplace when it comes to safety. And I'm referring to the military but I would say the same for police force. I would say the same for healthcare frontline workers and the list goes on. The investment in people is if you get that right. The rest is simple or less hard. So it has to be the number one priority.
