Workplace Safety Improvement Through Employee Engagement

The course aims to maintain long-term safety within the company. The course program focuses on the importance of each individual as a strength to increase safety at work. Workers who do not observe safety procedures are often those individuals who feel excluded or whose work is little appreciated within the company.

The course includes the active involvement of employees, as tools to increase the safety. Through an employee engagement survey it is possible to analyze and measures several factors that contribute to employee performance. The method allows employees to express their opinions, concerns and ideas without fear.

Objectives and expected results

Another important concept that is studied in depth is the workplace safety climate. It is seen as a key component of an organization’s safety culture.
