Vision Zero Leadership Workshop
Increase engagement and involvement in safety, health, and wellbeing
International studies measuring return on investment in prevention clearly demonstrate that every coin invested in safety, health, and psychosocial working environment delivers positive returns. Improving safety, health, and the psychosocial working environment does not have to mean increasing costs. It is essential that management leads the way with attention and consistency to create a culture based on trust, as well as open and honest communication at every level within the organisation.
Implementing the Vision Zero prevention strategy requires active participation from everyone across the company or organisation. Success is deeply dependent on, and ultimately determined by, the commitment and resolve of both employees and leaders.
Strong leadership is crucial for safety, health, and psychosocial wellbeing. Leaders at all levels must share a common understanding of – and agreement on – why safety, health, and wellbeing are key to achieving business priorities. This provides clear guidance for the entire organisation and makes it easier for everyone to prioritise safety, health, and the psychosocial working environment – even during a busy workday.
