Build a Better Safety Culture: Motivate, Engage, and Inspire

A culture of safety cannot and will not happen without the active engagement of employees — at all levels. Leaders at all levels must have a variety of tools in their toolbox and use them to successfully secure and maintain employee buy-in. Identify what motivates employees in different situations, and how to use that to make the “safety sale.” Through real-life case studies, examine engagement strategies, what type of safety incentives are compliant and actually work, and how to sustain a safety culture by engaging your hidden leaders.
