An Important Responsibility!

If you’re a manager, supervisor, or safety committee member, what happens when you receive their concerns and suggestions but do not provide feedback in a timely manner? You are ignoring them.

Ignoring co-workers increases apathy.

Get back with your co-workers as soon as possible to let them know the status of their concerns or suggestions. This is probably your most important job as a safety leader.

Imagine Motivated Employees

Are your co-workers motivated to be involved in safety? If not, why not? Do they see little benefit from it? So how do you increase employee involvement in safety? Make involvement worth it. Understanding content-relationship communications helps solve motivating employee involvement in all aspects of your safety and health program.
