Sometimes it’s just a simple text that reinforces a company’s safety culture. Here is what one employee had to say:
“An employee had been working for us for about 8 months when our Cincinnati Area Director sent out a Happy Thanksgiving message. The return text was, ‘Happy Thanksgiving, Todd! Thanks for keeping me alive for another year!’ I think that says a lot about the trust and environment the worker has.”
And another says, “We offer a ‘see something, say something’ reporting system where the employee can scan a QR code and reach the HR, corporate safety director and owner immediately. One of the responses to this code two months ago was, ‘I really like the way safety worries for everyone, and that is very important.’”
