“Look beyond boundaries to glimpse unlimited possibilities”
As we head into a new year, our organizations are implementing plans based upon outlook. Goals and objectives with steps to achieve them set the course of success for the year, and beyond. We as safety professionals should be doing the same with our safety processes: strategizing, reestablishing our mission, and most importantly communicating our vision. Just be sure it aligns with your organization.
Business entrepreneurs don’t start a business simply to show up and maintain the status quo; rather, they drive for innovation: a different way of doing things.
Business and safety: many times the two clash; however, when the ideas of prevention are aligned with business focus, they become action.
While businesses have processes and procedures to accomplish the tasks that assure results, its leadership in allowing a positive culture to thrive that drives success. Positive cultures are safe cultures not only set by a safe work environment, they are set by people feeling it’s safe to bring up the tough things, not just what’s going right. Actions that demonstrate respect, trust, and value for each person’s contribution creates and sustains a great culture both in good times and bad.
