Don't take it personally. Take it VERY personally!
From the machine operator to the corner office to the lobby receptionist, safety is everyone's responsibility. Nurturing a culture of safety can be difficult when demands on time and people increase, but it can be done if you are communicating the right way. Most safety audits reveal communication issues or lack of communication was the issue to blame for the incident. Safety should never be about the blame game, but is all about the communications game, and if played well, everyone wins.

Get your team thinking "Safety First" before another day goes by!

A noted multigenerational workplace expert, Mike has closely studied how different generations work, communicate, value their work, and interact with one another to see what keeps workplaces humming and what disrupts that harmony.
