“It’s ok to be different, just don’t be a jerk about it.” – Yvette Nicole Brown
People tend to enjoy business competition, especially when that competition sets up a win-win for customers and businesses alike. And this scenario carries over to the safety profession. Safety professionals know that while our organizations may compete, the best success does not come at the demise of someone else. Building on the best of ideas elevates customers, business and safety.
In business, access barriers, process challenges, capacity and resources are constant when adapting to market wants and needs.
Successful organizations consider the input and feedback from their customers as valuable: it is what helps them change and remain relevant in the marketplace.
Risks in business are not perceived as something to avoid; rather, action is taken based upon the acceptable calculated level. The risks of opportunity yield positive outcomes. Using safety to further a business effort is a risk worth taking.
