Safety is the MOST IMPORTANT Department in ANY Profit-Driven, Product Selling Business!
Even though this is true, most management teams don’t realize it. Did you know that Safety is the only department that can have a positive impact on all other departments? Yes, even the sales and customer service departments.
Companies with great safety programs have higher employee morale, leading to less turnover, better quality, and employees with pride in their company & work. When you deliver a high-quality product with great customer service, sales increase.
This is why safe companies are more profitable = the safety manager is a priceless team member.
Safety Managers Must Have a Seat at the Table
I mean that big long conference table in the C-Suite (c meaning chief, as in CEO, COO, CFO, etc.)
When safety has such a huge impact on the company profits, then they need to be included in company decisions.
Safety Answers to the Big Guy
(I would say person, but it doesn’t have the same flow as guy)
The safety department is a complementary leadership area. Safety Managers don’t directly manage other departments, but they influence them.
We are the Coach of the Coaches. We don’t necessarily enforce the safety policies, but we train and coach the people who do. We are guides on the side, the 3rd party observer, the watchers on the wall (wait…that’s Game of Thrones, sorry)
Point is, we can’t report to the people we are watching and auditing. This leads to a conflict of interest. So you need to report to the top of the company.
These are just a few of the leadership strategies I will teach you.
stick around, there is so much I want to share with you.
