The 3-Step Plan for Safety Buy-in.

A clear, focused message to create safety buy-in

You feel like you talk endlessly about safety but it doesn’t seem to stick. When dealing with inconsistent safety performance and lack of employee buy-in, the first place to look is your safety message.

A strong, clear and concise message of safety that resonates with employees can get everyone working toward the same safety goals. That message can rally people around safety.

Support supervisors to lead safety performance.

The greatest influence on a frontline employees' buy-in to safety performance, production, morale, motivation, communications, and coaching is the front-line supervisors. Yet, supervisors don't get the skills that front-line employees require most.

Supervisors need leadership skills to effectively support safety. 

The Safety Communications & Coaching for Supervisors Program (SCCS) was created to ensure supervisors are equipped to support safety, to be able to coach their teams and to be examples of safety leadership. Leadership drives employee buy-in to safety.

Go to the SCCS Program page to find out more about supervisors' leadership skills.

Positive meetings and communications for employee buy-in.

Don't make employees hate safety meetings by employing bad webinars and voice-over-PowerPoint onslaughts. No employee would ever buy-in to bad meetings.

Valuable safety meetings need to inspire employees. Safety meetings should create a desire for employees to step up and buy-in to safety as a lifestyle choice - not a compliance program.

Two decades ago, while working to improve the leadership skills of a senior management team, their CEO suggested my message would be a perfect fit for their front-line employees.

We arranged to work with their safety department to prepare a similar leadership presentation focused on safety. It was a home run and a welcome change up from the typical compliance lectures and rule preaching.

That started what has now become an exclusive focus on providing strategies and tools to solve challenges in safety performance, and to create employee buy-into safety.
