It seems like your people don't care about safety, but they do. Yes, your people do care about safety. They just don't care the way you care about it, because they see safety differently than you do.

Everyone cares about something. However, what's appealing and motivating to you is not always appealing and motivating to someone else. Your goals for safety improvement may be important to you, but your people need to have a benefit in working harder to reach those goals.

In this video, Kevin discusses what you can do to help your people see how important the safety goals are and what you must do first to bring each of your team members on-side to want to work toward better safety performance.
