Courageous Safety Leadership in Turbulent Times: The Economic Moment of Truth for Safety Commitment

Smart leaders focus on safety even in tough times. Businesses that retreat into survival mode and ignore safety do so at their peril, risking loss of employee and stakeholder confidence and exposing themselves to financial and reputational loss they can ill afford. It?s a moment of truth when employees and stakeholders learn whether safety is truly your priority or just a convenient cliché for good times. Visionary leaders who build safety culture even in a downturn maintain people?s trust, prevent loss, and position the organization for enhanced success as times improve. Safety is the right business focus in good times and bad.
