Safety at Work:
Why Reducing the Fear
is the Game Changer
What is the biggest issue you
face in your daily work?
Is it a lack of certainty around
what you are being asked to do,
or how secure your job is?
Do you feel hampered by too
many constraints, rules and
regulations that stop you from
getting on with your job, and
stifle your ability to come up with
new ideas, let alone get anyone
to listen to them?
Perhaps you’re not convinced
your company is telling you the
whole truth about its financial
status?
Uncertainty.
Lack of autonomy.
Lack of trust.
These all hamper productivity
and performance and
unfortunately too many
workplaces allow these issues
to grow and fester. Ultimately it
costs business big time through
increased staff turnover, lower
profits and higher levels of
absenteeism and presenteeism.
And it’s all underpinned by fear,
that powerful emotion we ignore
at our peril.
The missing link is that all
business is built on relationships.
It’s not just about customer
service, but all relationships at
all levels within a business. It’s
because the human brain is hard
wired to connect. We are social
animals and we work better
together.
