Is Your Organization Achieving Its (Safety) Potential?
Safety presents a unique opportunity to advance the health and well-being not only of the workers but also of the organization as a whole.
Not that long ago, safety was discussed only on the shop-floor. But safety has matured as a performance dimension. Today, safety is a first line of defense in corporate ethics and integrity. As one of our clients expressed it, “If we can’t do safety right, what can we do well?”
Today, safety is a recognized priority at the level of operating management, the C-suite and the boardroom. Safety practices have developed to the extent that their leading indicators are more precise, and more actionable, than any previously available. At the same time, ongoing research has enabled identification of the cultural factors that influence safety outcomes and the leadership practices that in turn shape culture.
The health and safety of the worker underpins a company’s ability to claim excellence in its dealings with customers, employees, investors and the public. As a result, when organizations both promise and deliver a safe workplace for their people, their delivery on the promise pervades the organization as a manifestation of its intended climate and culture. Safety contributes, then, not only to worker well-being, but also to business ethics, risk management, performance improvement and strategy implementation.
Our clients have found that safety lays a foundation for organizational integrity and excellence-and not just with respect to safety, but in strategic, financial, and operational performance as well.
This is our point of view, and all of our solutions derive from it.
Our point of view has led to the creation of the most comprehensive approach to safety in the industry: the Blueprint for Safety Transformation™.
The Blueprint comprises five critical elements:
- Working Interface
- Safety Enabling Systems
- Organizational Sustaining Systems
- Organizational Culture
- Leadership
