“What Safety Excellence Managers Do”

One of the most commonly cited reasons (read excuses) for under performance in safety is: ‘lack of management commitment’…a common allegation: ”They just don’t care!”

During the past 36 years, I’ve sat across the desks from hundreds of senior managers, all pondering the same question…“How do we reduce workplace accidents, eliminate pain and suffering, and minimize loss cost in our operations?” And, contrary to popular belief, I’ve not yet met one executive who honestly didn’t care!

The truth of the matter is, senior executives care deeply…about many things -- most specifically delivering results to shareholders…and ‘keeping their jobs’! And, as extremely intelligent individuals, they also understand that the key to their success (and longevity) boils down to: delivering products and services; at quota, per specification, under budget, on time…and ‘NOT INJURING ANYONE IN THE PROCESS’!

Senior executives fully comprehend Peter Drucker’s contention that: “Management’s number one job is not the maximization of profit; it is the minimization of loss”, because ‘loss, cost, and expense’ (the middle lines), are the only things a manager can manage…and by effectively doing so, drop top dollars (revenue) to bottom dollars (margin).

What many senior managers openly confess about their role in safety is: “They don’t know what to do!” They ask: “What ‘strategies’ can I develop?” “What tactics can I employ?” and “What visible ‘actions’ can I take?” to improve safety in my organization?”

This seminar responds to these questions with over ‘seventy-five’ ‘best practice’ answers compiled from fifty recognized high performance safety organizations.

Culled from client successes, media references, and best practice benchmarks, this seminar explores the ‘Actions of Excellence’, actions which drive both ‘effectiveness’ (doing the right things), and ‘efficiency’ (doing things right) in safety.

Put this seminar on your ‘To Do’ list to learn ‘What safety excellence managers ‘DO’: to establish their values, demonstrate their leadership, align their organizations, communicate their expectations, motivate performance, measure process, and reward results in safety.

To achieve peak performance, leaders must ultimately face two core questions of excellence:

• How many ‘want to be’ a safety excellence organization?

• How many ‘are willing to do’ safety excellence?

This seminar offers insight on those who have successfully answered both!
