Ensure a Safer Work Environment with
Motivational Quantitative Measurement
By isolating an employee’s
motivations through assessment, a firm can better identify, develop, and reinforce each
aspect of an employee’s career journey. Regardless of the industry, safety challenges
should be to addressed toward the individual participant’s motivations. A person with
high negative motivations may be safe for years until the spouse leaves or the child
develops a drug problem -- then this person is an accident waiting to happen. By using
this simple methodology, the career will be fruitful for both participants.
Ensure a More Productive Work
Environment with Motivational Based Understanding
Management has a responsibility to
provide a work environment that is conducive to productivity and profitability. Management
does not have a responsibility to allow employees to behave as they wish, as some
behavioral specialists claim. Win-Win scenarios provide an opportunity for a worker to
enjoy what he or she does while providing the company a good return for the investment of
wages. When an employee’s motivational needs are addressed his or her attitude is
better, work performance improves, and the environment is safe because the worker cares.
Ensure Developing Optimum
Environment Using "Best Fit" Analysis Training
Identification and placement based on
assessment and screening is vital to long term productivity and safety. However, placement
based on assessment is only the first step. Motivational-based training developed for an
individual participant is also vital for long-term success. One of the most comprehensive
screening and training programs available today is LifeThrive. LifeThrive involves
understanding and developing the whole person to their individual peak performance
capabilities. LifeThrive’s thrust is focused on understanding what motivates people
and using basic human needs and desires to correct unsafe work disorders.
Safety training is on the threshold
of becoming a corporation’s greatest asset at impacting the bottom line.
Professionals in the field today need to refocus their energies in getting across the
notion that a safe work environment exists only if the individuals within that environment
have safety skills. No matter how safe the work environment is, until the source of unsafe
behavior is isolated and removed -- the employee is unsafe. Employers can maximize
employee potential by screening, assessing, and training based on individual motivation.
