Never Sacrifice Safety for Efficiency
Produce, produce, produce! That’s the mantra leaders and workers hear today. But at what cost? You might meet your production goals, but none of that matters if three people were hospitalized this week or worse. Laura Stack, who has consulted for nearly 20 years in the field of productivity, offers a cautionary tale for safety meetings around the 5 Foes of Safety: FAST, FOCUS, FATIGUE, FAMILIARITY, and FAULTY COMMUNICATION.
Through funny illustrations, videos, and exercises, Laura demonstrates to workers that the friends of productivity (efficiency, focus, and self-care) can be the foes of safety (speed, distraction, and exhaustion) and reminds them to put SAFETY FIRST.
