Safety and Health as a Shared Value
Creating a Culture of Wellness where Safety and Health are Intertwined
Safety, when presented correctly to employees, is best understood within a wellness forum. Rather than mandated by management and resisted by employees, safety becomes accepted as part of the entire culture of wellness.
Safety and wellness are synergistic — working toward the same goal and benefiting both work related and non-work related activities.
Synchrony of Management Leadership and Employee Involvement
In today’s workplace, management can’t just talk about the importance of safety and health. They must walk the talk — ensuring that wellness is not just a passing trend, but part of the day-in / day-out operations of the organization.
Truly a Win-Win Situation
Both Employees and Employers Benefit
- Employees enjoy the benefits of better quality of life, freedom from disease and injury
- The employer benefits from greater productivity, decreased absenteeism and longevity with the company as a valuable, knowledgeable and loyal worker
It’s not just about work
- Injuries to employees that occur in non-working hours are costly to employers because of lost time or inability to return to full duty
- Employees experience the benefits and financial security of injury reduction both on and off the job.
