A workforce engagement and culture change methodology
Use lean safety management techniques to engage your workforce in an improvement-focused program; show respect for people by improving the safety program in your facilities; discover how everyone will rally around safety as a top priority.
Learn about a safe path to lean success, an alternative to the cost-saving lean methodology too often used by management. Hear how to use some of the common tools in a lean thinker’s tool box and focus on lean safety management instead of cycle time. Start building an understanding and the acceptance of lean while you improve safety in your facility. Discover how everyone will rally around safety, which should be a top priority. Develop the ongoing engagement of the workforce in lean improvements and lean safety. Understand how this culture-changing employee engagement activity contributes to long-term organizational success. Show respect for people as you proactively engage your workforce in a meaningful, safety improvement-focused program instead of focusing solely on safety compliance (reacting to injuries and near misses). Participate in group exercises that will help you to improve the safety program in your facilities. www.leansafetybook.com
