PLAINFIELD, Ind., Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jerry Land is a human resource professional with thirty-five years of experience in the utility industry who has also served as a member of the faculty at Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis since 1988. He has taught a variety of human resources courses and recently completed his new book "It's All About People! A Practical Guide to Develop a Dynamic Safety Culture": an informative and well-researched handbook drawn from his extensive experience in human resource development.
Managers everywhere strive to create a safer workplace. There are many benefits to this, the most important being the wellbeing of employees, customers, and the general public. Most of these efforts will focus on identifying the appropriate policies, training, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that work is performed in the safest manner possible.
In "It's All About People!", the author looks at a critical but sometimes overlooked element in achieving a safe workplace: the people. A company may have the most up-to-date policies and a dedicated group of safety professionals who stand ready to implement those policies, but that's only half of the equation. It's the old carrot or the stick argument. If the policies are dictated by management, and changes to the safety program come down from on high, employees are unlikely to feel any ownership in the process. With no emotional attachment, employees will comply but remain uncommitted to improving your safety program.
When employees become engaged in creating the safest work environment possible, that moves the gauge. Only then can your company develop a best-in-class safety workplace. "It's All About People!" will help you attain that level of engagement.
"It's All About People!" offers numerous real-life examples of managers and employees working together to improve the safety program. Employees who take ownership think about safety constantly and look for ways to make the workplace safer for themselves and their coworkers.
Managers are provided questions to ask themselves to determine if their company has a strong safety culture. For example, what happens if an employee encounters a situation that she thinks is unsafe? How accessible are your company's safety policies? Are your safety meetings productive or a break from work? The answers will help you identify the opportunities your company has to develop a dynamic safety culture.
As with anything involving people, change is challenging. Changing your safety culture can be accomplished, but not without a lot of hard work. "It's All About People!" provides a roadmap to make that happen.
