ProAct Safety to Present Key Ingredients of an Effective Safety Strategy at ASSE’s Safety 2017 Conference
The Woodlands, TX (PRWEB) June 12, 2017 -- ProAct Safety, a recognized pioneer of leadership and safety excellence strategies, announced the company’s CEO, Terry L. Mathis, and president, Shawn M. Galloway, will lead four sessions at the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Safety 2017 conference in Denver, Colorado. The conference will take place at the Colorado Convention Center. The ProAct Safety sessions are scheduled as follows.
Sunday, June 18: Training Supervisors to Become Safety Coaches
Monday, June 19: Re-Engineering Behavior-Based Safety
Tuesday, June 20: Key Ingredients: What Makes a Safety Strategy Effective
Thursday, June 22: Giving Your Safety Program a Brand Identity
In Shawn Galloway’s presentation, he will outline what an effective strategy looks like and how to create and execute against one for maximum effectiveness and contribution to the injury prevention and culture enhancement efforts. Galloway said, “If business strategy is still an evolving concept with new paradigms and approaches established every year, safety strategy has a long way to go to reach extreme levels of effectiveness. Having been hired to review and improve countless corporate safety strategies, I have found five common problems organizations need to overcome to improve both their safety planning and execution. The average safety strategy consists mostly of empty buzzwords, is heavy on new programs, ignores the safety culture, focuses primarily on failing less, and is not integrated into the overarching business strategy. We can’t keep doing what we’ve always done and expect improvement, or even transformation. The time is now to change the safety strategy.”
In addition to the two pre-conference topics which have become popular at ASSE’s events, Terry Mathis will discuss the importance of branding your safety program. He shared, “Giving your safety program a brand identity can greatly facilitate employee engagement. Like branding a product or service, branding safety can have a number of advantages. The way people think about safety impacts how they react to safety programs, both mentally and emotionally. When safety has a brand that elicits the right combination of caring, teamwork and focused action, performance can reach levels of excellence not previously possible. Branding is an element of strategic management that is quickly getting the attention of forward-thinking leaders.”
