The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) addresses how to build a productive and innovative company culture in a recent article What Does Your Company’s Culture Have to do With Workforce Development?.
A workplace with a poor culture often suffers from high turnover, disengaged employees, lower production quality, and difficulty hiring. Organizations with positive cultures have engaged, productive employees who feel respected, valued, and invested. They have lower turnover, more innovation, and better ability to hire based on their reputation, reports AEM.
“Data gathered from multiple studies of construction, utilities, and other heavy industrial projects reveals that highly engaged leaders who foster highly engaged crews lead a far safer and more productive environment on virtually all measures of project success,” says Peter Krammer, Senior Partner of Okos Partners.
Leading Safety Works was created with this issue in mind. It is a process that trains leaders in the art and discipline of engaging their teams. Grounded in coaching, proven planning and management tools, Leading Safety Works delivers a replicable process along with practical tools that foster workforce engagement, safety and continuous improvement.
Teamwork and engagement exist when people collaborate interdependently and adaptively toward a common mission, set of values, goals and strategies.
