WSPS.CA | 2022 HEALTH & SAFETY LEADERSHIP SURVEY WHITE PAPER 35 CONCLUSION FLEXIBILITY IS KEY TO FUTURE SUCCESS. The results reveal that employees are at different states of readiness when it comes to re-entry. There is still a great deal of uncertainty and fear factoring into actions and decisions, and many issues are extremely polarizing. Leaders will need to shed rigidity and accept that fluidity and openness to change and continuous improvement are important qualities that will propel future success. Avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and let employees know they are valued as individuals. IMPROVEMENT COMES FROM REGULAR EVALUATION. The number of respondents indicating that they conduct a formal evaluation of their health and safety program has been consistenty low throughout the three years of research. Evaluation provides the opportunity to improve and enhance health and safety efforts. However, perhaps most importantly, it ensures that the money, time and effort dedicated to health, safety and wellbeing are well spent and are producing the desired results. SEIZE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REINFORCE COMMITMENT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY. Leaders who are committed to creating a culture of health and safety are making a difference. It doesn't matter if the organization is just starting out or has a robust health and safety program, there is a good story to tell. Seize the opportunity to demonstrate this as often as possible, including sharing shortcomings and opportunities for improvement. Employees should know that they are joining an organization that is deeply invested in keeping people healthy and safe before they even submit their resume and certainly from the time they join the organization until they leave.
